Hello Mark,

Ref your post #102 picture 2 and 3.

What is the name of the platform ( spline, I suppose )?

Are the passengers getting in and out the " Scarol's coaches " ( ref your last picture )?

Best regards

Kurt :wave:

Hi Kurt,

The name of the station is 'Hauptbahnhof' well worth a download as on closer inspection it has a lot of features. The scene shows two of them, one of which is reversed and a further two tracks placed in-between to give correct amount of platforms.
And yes the coaches load and unload.

Regards

Mark

On leaving Brussels the first local station is 1) Vorst-Sud which mainly serves the local factories. 2 & 3) are the sidings for car transportation. 4 & 5) are the main Brussels sidings for both goods and passenger trains. They are actually bigger then shown as I did not want to add a further block to include more of it.

Hello Mark,

Ok - Thank you. I downloaded the Hauptbahnhof station.

If you have some Audi A1 cars - you can always place them on the goods element. Audi A1 car are being made in Vorst.

If necessary, I can send you some tram information ( linenumbers ).

Best regards

Hi,

After we spoke yesterday, more Audi cars moved to the dispatch area whilst a German transporter train arrived and loaded up with new cars.

Hi,

Stations south of Brussels, 1) Ruisbroek AM73 stopping with goods train on the main line. 2) Ruisbroek. 3) Lot. 4) Buizinggen. 5) Halle. Not happy with the canopy roof, as I could not find anything that matched the actual modern Canopy roof, have a look at GE and see if you know of anything in DLS that comes near.

Hello Mark,
Ref your post #109 third picture.
Has the bridge invisible track?
If it doesn't have it, how did you lay the track?
Best regards

[belgian46]

Hello Mark,
In case some other trainzers are following by Google Earth
Ref your post #110
A typo error 5) Hennuyères instead of Hennuilles.
Ref your post #111
Neufvilles instead of Neufufilles
Masnuy-Saint-Pierre instead of Masnux-Saint-Pierre

Best regards

Hi,

Sorry about the typo's It can be hard going typing on here as explorer seems to have some affect on it by missing out letters.

No the bridges come with tracks. See #110 pic 3

Hello Mark,
Thanks for reply.
Unfortunately, it is not the bridge that would give me the solution.
Best regards

Just some modifications I made since thread #56 1) Charleroi-Sud Station Building changed to correct one. 2) Complete redesign of track work and bridges at Charleroi-Sud. 3) A couple of AR41s sitting in Charleroi-Sud sidings.

Hi Kurt,

The answer to your first question is no. A typical Belgium St Andrews Cross is shown below, I believe that there is nothing like it in DLS. So I had to choose one which is available. By looking at European types below the nearest would be Number 9 but it is not very visible In game. So the one I chose to use (5) is much more visible. It's always a compromise when choosing an asset to represent the actual item.
With Number (1) I believe there is now a working version for TS12. Number 10 I have used on various British layouts (ATLS) but is not suited to my Belgium Layout.

To answer your second point; Thanks and thanks to Author 'Jcayena' whose assets I have used.
