TrainzKUIDIndex is arguably the most comprehensive third-party KUID database available. It functions like a Google search engine specifically for Trainz assets.
A KUID2 includes a version number suffix. For example, if an asset exists as <kuid2:123:456:1> , a newer version might be <kuid2:123:456:2> . When Trainz searches for assets, it can use newer versions as replacements for older ones in many cases.
If automated tools fail, the "long report" approach involves asking the community directly. Use these specific threads for KUID identification: Does anyone have a website for finding kuid? kuid finder trainz exclusive
Are you getting an explicit or an "Faulty" error status?
A KUID (pronounced kooid ) stands for uran U ser ID entifier. It is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to every single object created for the Trainz ecosystem, from massive steam locomotives to individual blades of grass. For example, if an asset exists as <kuid2:123:456:1>
The tool will return the name of the asset (e.g., "Generic Track Spline") and the author. Most importantly, it often provides a direct link to the CDP file or the creator's website.
Post the missing KUIDs on relevant Trainz forums. The community is generally helpful and may have encountered the same missing dependencies before. Use these specific threads for KUID identification: Does
