IMPORTING CONTENT

Do not try to import Trainz 12 builtin content directly into TANE (as it will show "missing textiure errors). Please follow this guide to import your content.

DLC IS OPTIONAL

T:ANE come with four built-in routes and thousands more available for free on the DLS. We also provide a couple of hundred DLC items you can purchase IF YOU WANT TO. These items have been created by the community using the tools included in the game. The creators share the revenues from your purchases of DLC. If you don't wish to purchase anything, that's fine, and if you do, that's great.
