That LIRR route looks great so far. Just one question, will you be adding over running third rails for the main line? I know I have asked this question many times before but how did you get the light blue and red lines in the surveyor. I use transdem also to generate DEM's from the seamless server but when I export my DEM's to trainz, they don't have any of those colors, just the elevation in surveyor. Usually, I would have to create and edit basemaps with paint.net. I use Google Earth for working with basemaps but that get's annoying doing them one by one. I know you can use UTM tiles in Transdem but from what I have seen, I like the blue and red lines better.

Is his a DEM?

drchoi21 · Jun 23, 2012

It's not DEM also, mine is free lanced (Except Secaucus Junction)

Real railroads have track that is not perfect ... in fact much US track is totally screwy leads, dips, ups, & downs.

These track end curve spline points need just a hair, tweek to the left ... and they would have perfect easements ... instead they have a compund negitive radius, then a positive radius, a whoop dee doo swervy.

Sorry I am a nitpicker ... but I am a trackman (in Trainz).

Otherwise the route looks absolutly fantastic !

Haven't seen anything from you in a while Cascade- dropped off the face of the earth?

tuangalimoreamtrak19 · Jun 23, 2012

I made simple stationary platforms for Boland's Landing. Anyone know how i can turn this into a spline for further use at other stations?

Subway_V · Jun 24, 2012

I was once a casual rider of the LIRR when I lived in Brooklyn so I'm voting for "3.Montauk branch to Long Beach Or Far Rockaway
Atlantic Terminal Branch to Flatbush Ave". This is looking very good; congrats and thanks.

Ok well i spent this whole time making custom objects for my Lirr Staions...
Here is the New Westbury Station

Next I will redo Hicksville With my custom Platforms and Station Ware.

Scottbe8 · Jun 25, 2012

Will the custom objects be released to the DLS?

tuangalimoreamtrak19 · Jun 25, 2012

If i can make them into splines. I don't wanna make myself seem like a newby unless i can get my objects to work exactly how i want. Which is as a spline and nobody is really helping out soo as of now i can only say no.

SEE whenever i try to make it into a spline it comes out like this... SOMEBODY HELP PLEASE

heres the config i used for it

type "Roads"
region "USA"
kind "track"
length 6
grounded 0
istrack 0
width 4.8
bendy 1

GOOD NIGHT, HAVE A GOOD WEEK !!!

Looks good so far. Just thought I point out, the third rails on your route are incorrect. Those are under running volts for the Metro North Railroad. The LIRR uses over running third rails that look just like the third rails on the MTA subway.

Try rotating the mesh and switching the length and width. Also, if you plan on making stations with sharper curves, you should try making the mesh a bit shorter.

ok i tried that and now it came out like this.

PS: I did not change the length in my config to match the sketchup one. I just changed a few things around in the config that my friend gave me that he used for his. I dont know how to figure out the length and width in google sketch up so i never changed that park from 4.8 and 6

tuangalimoreamtrak19 · Jun 25, 2012

Ok i figured out how to measure my object in sketch up... Even after i did that this is how it came out

So what should i do now... Make the object shorter in sketchup ?

cascaderailroad · Jun 25, 2012

There is are a lot of platform splines on the DLS that are brick sides and gray top, with white lines ... http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php By Pikabird - Platform
