Where are saved games located?

I saved a bunch of old games, which I would like to delete. However, I cannot find where they are on my C: Drive. I looked in all the places that I could think of and I searched for the names of the saved games. Anyone know where they are saved in Trainmaster?
Thanks

Couple questions:

1. Are you using XP or vista/win7/win8? Cause that could make a difference.

2. Where did you install the game to?

If you are on vista/win7/win8 and installed the game into the program folders your saved games are probably buried in your personal folder somewhere. I forget where exactly but I think I once posted it on the forum so I'll check and see.

Edit:

It's not the post I was thinking of but it might provide you some guidance:

Windows 7

C:\Program Files (x86)\Trainmaster\

I checked my users directory (non-hidden) locations, and the trainmaster directory. Plus I searched the computer (using the Win7 search functions)

Check and see if you can find:
:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Trainmaster\Saved Games>

If that folder exists it might be where your games are being saved.

That is where they are living. Thanks for the help.
The files are good sized - average 55 megabytes.
FYI, the extension is “gmc”

.gmc is the suffix for saved campaign maps. .gms is for saved scenario maps. ;-)

Ah! That would explain why I don't have any gmc files. :mrgreen:
I generally don't play campaign maps.
