Utilities
Everything here runs on Windows and most of it is
twenty-odd years old. If you are setting the game up for the first time,
the Game fixes are the part you need; the rest is for making
tracks and trucks.

Mdmre's Amazing Pod Making Program updated to 32bit by KMaster. (recommended version!)
77k
Kmaster's Utilities are a
second set of current tools, living on their own pages.
Three run in a browser, with nothing to install: the MTM1 &
2 Online Truck Viewer, the MTM1 & 2 Online Track Viewer, and the
Online POD Viewer (JSPod). Drop a file in and look inside it.
Three are desktop programs, and two of them cover the same
ground as the list above on purpose. JPod and KPod
view, extract and build POD archives — the archive work
C-Pod26 does, in a program that does only that. JPodman and
KPodman manage the pod.ini mount list, which is CowPod's job,
and read each POD so the list reads as track and truck names rather
than filenames. WinPod32 is the row above, with a page of its
own.
Each of those pairs is one program built twice, as Java and as
native Windows, so they are also how you do this work on macOS or
Linux. None of it replaces C-Pod26 or CowPod, which are bigger
programs doing more — it is a leaner route to the same two
jobs, and which you prefer is a matter of taste.
