Wow! Excellent work around here lately! Better than my regurgitated crap...:hehe:

An Up Goods from Albury with 44202, 4511 and 4518 as power, diverted to the Gwydong Line due to track maintenance, growls up the short 2% grade and their way towards Gwydong to rejoin the main.

This is an old shot, so the textures haven't been changed to what they are now, nor the road.

Thanks,
Mitch

seriously? thanks guys You'll be the first to know when its released...

@Steve - Sure is a good looking route. I myself shall be checking it out once you release it

@Mitch -Nice shot as well


Cheers

Seriously (from me, anyway.)

Correct me if i am wrong, but aren't you using 2010, and speedtrees? If so that means, yet again, i miss out on another great looking Aussie route.:''(

Matt.

ah, yeah sorry 'bout that I'm trying to make it as detailed as possible so it will be updated to TS12

Evening all

Thought I best post a screen shot since I got a few posts of text.

A nothing special progress shot of St.Claire Station/township(Station No: 37 on my route). about 1/100th done currently.

Cheers

Fat fingers, my error typing, 37 stations and my signature isn't updated as well, currently at 135 kilometers of route completed.

Some stations are close (City area) where outer areas are further apart, It takes quite sometime to run along the route currently, but still have a ways to go yet. I have it all mapped on graph paper my overall target for my route and its working out quite fine

Hope to get an early copy out for testing in a few more weeks tinkering in surveyor, but only when I am happy with the look and feel. Its rather taxing on the PC though, needs a fairly good gfx card and processor to not have your frame rates drop to single digits. My machine keeps around 35fps in heavy areas and over 100 in-between station runs. I currently run/test it in Trainz 2012, but is built in Trainz 2010.

Some amazing screenies being displayed here recently. Have to give a huge thumbs up to Stevo and Trent. Trent that's going to be one hell of a route when complete. On another note, I installed TS12 yesterday and have to say I'm very impressed.
Cheers, Kent.

A very quiet Toogoolawah.

Slowly but surely getting St.Claire Station done. City/Outer City areas I so don't like doing. I seem to go in circles getting it right LOL. So prefer rural areas, But gota have a city section in a large route.

Shot showing Hammond City East in the background. WIP shot, as always along way til it is complete.

Cheers

yes that right Daniel

Trent - No comment:hehe:

Mitch - you may think your work is bad, but it's not, may I suggest you change the sky to something that looks nicer

I've noticed that with some things I do, and the sky makes a huge difference...

Some truly inspirational work being produced of late, kudos to all involved, I've effectively 'resigned' from route building, due to lack of knowledge and ability, leaving the reins to those who produce such astounding works. I can but live in aspiration of the wonders I've been seeing, and hope to one day, enjoy these excellent creations.

What???

Is this a joke?

Muliebuck, Modular Maestro, retiring from route building.....

I never thought I'd see the day.

A truly sad event for this community.

Trent, great work. Look forward to seeing more, as always.

Catenary config

Boy, I'd rather build a loco than carry on with this trackside stuff
I've finally gotten around to finishing off my catenarys .....well, nearly finishing
I have set the gantry's up as trackside assets, which means they're stuck to the track and will remain a constant height and side distance to the track.

I have made the overhead wire as a spline and you have to lay that, adjust the height to match the gantry and position the spline points under the insulators.

I don't have a problem doing it this way but I thought I'd ask the forum for your views?

Please ignore the V set

Hi David
This method works, however over long stretches it may cause issues with signals (been a while since I tested it, but from memory, too many trackside objects between two signals would cause the signals to simply show a 'red' indication).

Another method, which may be a little easier, would be to set them up as short 'fixed track' segments. However, there's a bit of discussion on if there's issues with this method under TS12 the moment, which is being investigated.

Thanks Zec,
I'll sleep on that and test it tomorrow.

The other advantage, of course, is that you can 'attach' the wires to the catenary as well (this is somewhat where the attachment point issue comes in though).

One thing I would suggest though, is to find a way of making a 'trackside' based object to allow you to align the wires properly. Probably a 'pantograph contact area' sized object.

Using this, you could then adjust your distances between each mast for when on curves.

The other part being a 'trackside' object (for straights) that allows you to place the masts at an approximate distance.

That said, for the 'single' wire setup, a 'regular' spline version is also useful. Particularly for flatter (not necessary level, but 'flat') sections over longer stretches.

Now, back to these I wagons...

Oh well in that case...

I'll take an 80 class! :hehe:

After laying miles and miles of overhead for trams I must say it is easer to have the overhead cable as part of the track spline and the supports as a track side item.
