Railworks America

Matt Peddlesden's TwitchTV channel has some detailed tutorials on advanced LUA scripting for scenarios (scripted weather, camera movement, in-game videos, etc.).

You might want to check older locomotive simulation scripts that are not obfuscated into .out files.
Search your entire assets directory for .lua files.
The old P42DC came with good scripts for cab displays etc. IIRC

Scripts are intellectual property of their author and should be respected as such. Code snippets etc. are a difficult area in copyright terms.

The Centipede's script is also a great example.
Thanks to Reppo for not compiling his scripts.

What old P42's? The one's I have are the one that come with the Miami route, and the P42's for Empire Builder.

Could be wrong but I believe he's referring to the original Gtrax P42. This was before the DTG update on it.
