==Community involvement== Auran has, on a number of occasions, involved community members in the development of ''Trainz'', via their [http://forums.auran.com/TRS2004/forum/default.htm online forums]. Some of the community initiatives have included: *<!-- [[File:Trainz LBTG icon.png]] --> The '''Language Beta Translation Group''' was set up in 2003 to translate ''Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004'' into the many versions it was going to be released as. The lengthy translations were never used. *<!-- [[File:Trainz CCG icon.png]] --> The '''Content Creation Group''' (part of the beta testing group) was created for ''Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004'' so that more regional content was to be included in the game. The group was a success with much of the new content in ''Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004'' and ''Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006'' having been created by the CCG. *<!-- [[File:Trainz TotR icon.png]] --> '''Trainz on the Road''' was a program to demonstrate and sell ''Trainz'' at model railway and computer shows. The TotR concept is a success in the way that the community itself organised shows to promote the game. Auran rewarded demonstrators with premium access to its Download Station (DLS) facilities. *<!-- [[File:Trainz FCT icon.png]] --> The '''First Class Ticket''' is an option of paying for a DLS service that operates at a faster speed (much faster downloads). It also removes the daily 100MB download limit. ===Content creation=== Content creation has been supported since the first release of Trainz. Using third party modeling programs such as [[Gmax]], [[3D Studio Max]] and [[Blender (software)]], community members are able to model their own assets and import them into ''Trainz''. Members can then can then contribute to the large number of 3rd party assets made available for download through the Download Station or personal websites such as the US site [http://www.jointedrail.com Jointed Rail] and the UK site [http://www.unitedrail.co.uk United Rail] A large number of third-party web sites have been created which offer additional items for ''Trainz'' created by groups of enthusiasts, together with a wealth of technical information and assistance. Many of these web sites have discussion fora. Some sites offer their creations free of charge, some suggest that a voluntary donation is made while others sell items commercially. Many people have created all types of trains, including famous ones like [[Thomas the Tank Engine]], [[LNER A4 Pacific]] (in silver, brunswick green, NE WW2 black, and garter blue) and the [[Austerity 0-6-0ST]]. Also, other people have created many routes (Arezzo-Stia, Cinque Terre, Zaandam/Alkmaar-Beverwijk, Polish sand railways and West from Denver)
