I am trying to create a route using Transdem. All goes well until I open the Route in Surveyor. The terrain is there, and so is the raster map - but the raster map is positioned thousands of feet up in the air instead of being painted on the terrain as a ground texture, and I can see it only...

I have had a number of requests for assistance with building tunnels from scratch, rather than using pre-made ones, so I have put together this brief tutorial on how to do it. Start by laying your track on the baseboard, ignoring the hill and curving the track if you want a curved tunnel. Even...

One of the things which tends to detract from realism in the simulator is that lamps, except those on locomotives, do not illuminate their surroundings. I have managed, after a lot of fiddling about, to install headlamps in a car. However, this meant making two tiny 'traincars', each of which...

Being a relative newcomer to creating content, I have read much of the arguments concerning keeping the polycount as low as possible, using one or two large texture files as opposed to many smaller ones and so on. I have re-skinned and created some items on the DLS, and my main interest is in...

I am building a model of the Polegate to Eridge Railway. I have made quite a few assets - LBSCR tunnel portal, platform waiting rooms etc,. but if anyone knows of any specifically south east assets, I would be pleased to hear from you. Heathfield under construction A down service from Eridge...

I am trying to construct a tunnel, but I do not want to be constrained to the ones available as track elements. I have examined the way tunnels are constructed in the Hawes Junction layout, but I cannot see how they work. The elements I can see are a spline-less UK tunnel mouth, a tunnel dummy...
