Does anyone know of an "invisible" switch?

[sawyer811]

I'm building a route that features a large Military/civilian airport, using Vulcan's comonents, and i want my planes to be able to take different routes (not really proper for a Super Connie to be making strafing runs at 50 feet off the deck) but i don't want one of those annoying red levers to just be hanging there in midair. I know i can get a random invisible switch lever some times when i'm laying track, but i can never seem to find it in surveyor. I was wondering if anyone either knew what that object was called or, if that's just a fluke that can't really be accessed, if there is an invisible switch lever available for download somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Hi there:wave:

On a recent route build I did I recall seeing in the one of the tabs an Invisible Switch.

I think it is under Track side tab. (The middle tab for trs2009) in the search box above all of the track side objects type in the word 'lever'. About 3 or 4 from the above or below (the word lever) should show the invisible switch lever and it is built into 09. This wont show that red spike, just the arrows on what way the points are aligned.

hope this helps
Best Regards
Mike S.

they are on the DLS

I have used some for a bus route - after all you don't want switch levers sticking out of the street. Since I don't currently use them on my route, search the DLS for category=track objects, name=invisible. I could see a couple. Also, limit the search to "invisible" and see if you find more.

thank you for your quick replies! As i've put trainz to bed for the night (I may have a healthy trainz obsession:hehe: but i'm still mortal) I'll have to take a look tomorrow. but thank you, again.

I have one. It is 100% invisible and silent. It is called something like "Strab Weiche Unsightbar" (I know that I likely got the spelling wrong somewhere in there). I use it for junctions on modified AJS Street Kit roads to create automatically-switching juinctions to make the turning direction of road traffic almost random. I believe that it may be on the DLS.

Quick search in Content Mangler for TS2010 "invisible" and "Built in - True" turns up these;

Lever invisible,<kuid2:151900:100211:1>
Lever Motor Invisible,<kuid2:77641:24559:1>

'unsichtbar' is the word you're looking for - it's by RW1HH on the DLS.
