[Q] Please could you tell me what is meant by the config file and where do you find it?
[A] There are numerous config.txt files. Each asset that you've downloaded or created yourself has its own config.txt file, in its folder. I guess all the built-in assets that come with the program must have their config.txt files too but they are held internally and you can't see them. The config.txt files contain information that each asset needs in order to be operative. These files can be viewed in Notepad but the syntax of the tags they contain is complicated, in places extremely complicated.
In addition, TRS2004 has a number of configuration files that have slightly different filenames. These files tend to hold settings which control the trade-off's between the program's performance and its quality of operation. Most of these files can also be viewed in Notepad. The syntax of their commands is relatively simple but the parameters of each command get a bit complicated.
With all these files, it's best for beginners to look but not touch. Once you gain more knowledge try experimenting then but not at first or you may well mess something up. As with anything to do with computers it only needs one wrong character and the whole thing stops working.

A Trainz 2004 Virtual Railroad. The White Pebble Rapids RR was located in the mountains of Muskoka Lakes, in south eastern Canada. It operated on a portion of the old Quebec and Lake St.John Railway, a narrow gauge [3ft between the rails] logging railroad developed from Parry Sound to Squamish city, Canada. The railroad carried the products of the lumbering industry from the forests of the area but also other merchandise, silver ore, gold and mining equipment and passengers.
