FAQs
Some of the most frequently asked questions for all things Train Simulator Classic content. Click the question to see the answer.
How to install Train Simulator Classic products?
All downloads are hosted via MediaFire. In each file, a manual is provided in a PDF document format with every single reskin, reskin pack and patch which explains the installation process in detail all following the same basic formula. PDF manuals can be opened with a internet browser or any PDF reader.
I have a problem with a product, how can this be resolved?
As mentioned above, a PDF manual is provided with every single reskin, reskin pack and patch which explains the installation process in detail all following the same basic formula - this should be the first port of call and also using other usual Train Simulator installation methods such as copying and pasting GeoPcDx files located in default folders. If in the case you do have a problem, I am happy to provide assistance via social media if it is necessary at all. It in some cases there maybe a core issue with the product that needs attention for a fix. Social media details are on the home page and at the bottom of every page if you do need to contact me.
Why do some reskins not utilise enhancement packs or similar?
More often than not, it is likely that do not own a specific add-on or enhancement pack. I try my best to use the best available content that make the gameplay experience better.
Why has the installation method changed for new and updated products?
The previous method of copying, pasting and renaming a variety of files in the RailWorks folder used from 2018 until 2023 was known to sometimes cause issues with the installation of any reskins or reskin packs which can easily not go to plan. As necessary reskin files are now included in a .exe installer with manual copying and pasting for only essential files, not only the amount of copying and pasting is reduced, but also speeds up the installation process. This also makes it much easier to roll-out updates and install them effectively and efficiently.

Do you take requests, commissions or suggestions for content?
The answer to this question is no unfortunately. I don't currently accept requests, commissions or suggestions for any new Train Simulator Classic content. As written in some older content read-me PDF documentation, from time to time I may create stories on my Instagram account or create posts via other social media platforms including Bluesky and Facebook asking for input when it is felt to be neccessary.
Why only make content for Train Simulator Classic and not similar games?
Train Simulator Classic (at the time Train Simulator 2017/2018 when I came on the scene!) is one of several simulation games i'm the most familiar with which therefore felt most comfortable making content. I felt there was a gap for reskins not covered by other creators. Train Simulator Classic is where I've been able to develop my content to the best it can be. The ability to make and customise reskins and patches is something I feel I would miss with other titles that contain more limitations for content creation. Subsequently, franchises such as Train Sim World have felt more limited for the style of content creation I do here. Games like it and Transport Fever 2 already have a range of freeware content creators.
Why does some reskins or other content get withdrawn?
As my reskins, patches and other content continually get better, sometimes it is necessary to say goodbye to some of the older content that isn't up to modern Train Simulator Classic standards any longer and doesn't match the same quality standard that people now come to expect. Also on occasion it is likely older content may not have as many downloads as newer equivalents, therefore making room for newer better content.
Sometimes, reskins that are still loved and used by members of the Train Simulator Classic community are still kept around but now relocated to the legacy content page here instead. Usually if they've become redundant or obsolete as a result of newer better content being released or withdrawal of DLC..
