Doble track

[angelsd]

In the iPad trainz version there are several doble tracks. They are very usefull to create paralell tracks.

In trainz 12 I can't find them. I was loocking for them with Content Manager but I didn't find them.

Do you know where to find such type of tracks an their names?

They are usually found under 2t (track name) or (track name) 2 track or similar.

P.S. If you've got TS12, you need to register it.

Search for "Double" (not "Doble") .

It is best not to use double tracks for a number of reasons. Best to use single tracks and "Waygauge" assets which will help with the spacing.

Please register your TS12 so that we know you have a licenced version.

Multi track is great for making straight-aways, only ... not for curves ... and is best replaced with all single track on the end product route.

I agree with itareus that double track is redundant and there is no need for it, once you start laying parallel single tracks. Single track gives you more flexibility - you can keep tracks 4 meters apart and widen this space on bridges, road crossing, etc. You can make your routes looking more prototypical by pulling splines on the outer track in tight curves, which you can't do with fixed double-track. Also when joining parallel tracks using turnouts you need to switch from double-track to single-track and your track layout can get a bit messy.

To make double track easy I use following guides from martinvk (see the picture below showing 5 meters guide). They are easy to use and look great thanks to its distinctive, colorful pin, although I wished there would be also one more guide for 6m track.
