Hamburg V6E Tram Layout

[MarkHodgkinson]

I thought I would post a few screenshots of my latest work in progress; a city tram layout for the Hamburg V6E trams. The layout is purely fictious and is an extension of the V6E demo layout provided with the excellent payware V6E trams (http://www.v6e.de).

I will post more screenshots as the work continues.

Sorry, but I can't see anyone.

I've changed the hosting server for my screenshots so hopefully you can see them now.

Looking good there Mark. I always thought that programme could have been a wee bit bigger as what was there was very good. Will be looking forward to your finished project in due course. Very promising.

What will be its status "All On DLS", "some items not on DLS"

Thanks for the kind comments.

What will be its status "All On DLS", "some items not on DLS"

Most of the items are available on the DLS, although many items are from other sources such as www.trsbingen.de, www.trsberlin.de, and http://www.trainzdepot.net. If you have got "Altstadtlinie" by Connyxy, you will have most of the content required.

Now for a few more screenies:

A shortage of serviceable trams lead to previously withdrawn V6E 3601 (with adverts removed) being brought back into service. It is seen operating line 2 at Brandenburger Tor.

Another view of V6E 3601 from the top of Brandenburger Tor.

V6E 3601 leaves the short section of line through Stadtpartk heading for the City Hall at Veddel.

Line 1 terminus at Rödingsmarkt.

Line 1 terminus at Rödingsmarkt.

The main tram terminus at Hauptbahnhof.

The tram name station sign displaying "Rödingsmarkt" is called "tramschild1" by Connyxy (kuid:69953:442119) and is included as part of a pack called "Haltestellenset2.cdp". It is available from www.trsbingen.de (you will need to register).

The tram line number sign is called "Zastávkový sloupek AN" by Josh and is available from http://tramtrainz.net.

Hope that helps.

wow, this really looks great... .

A few more screenies:

V6E 3552 is seen near the City Hall at Veddel sporting an experimental blue and white livery.

The main tram terminus at Hauptbahnhof.

V6E 3571.

I'm leaving the wires to the last job as they take ages and you have to make sure you're totally happy with the track layout before you start. It can get very messy with all the splines!!!

Unfortunately, as my route includes the original payware "V6E Demo" route by Rolf Westphalen in it's entirity, I cannot upload my route to the DLS. Sorry guys, I think I confused people with my first post. My route is not an add-on to the "V6E Demo" route; what I meant to say is that I used the "V6E Demo" route as a starting point and began extending the lines.

Hi,

since all scenery objects of the route should be on the DLS, so you should be able to upload the route. I will talk with Rolf about it... .

But I must confess, I have no idea, if the "special triggers" for the tram stop and the signs can be found on the DLS. I will have a look... .

OK, I will await further instructions from Rolf and yourself.

But I must confess, I have no idea, if the "special triggers" for the tram stop and the signs can be found on the DLS. I will have a look... .

The "special triggers" are not on the DLS. However, this shouldn't be a problem as if you don't have the V6E payware, they will just be missing assets and won't appear.

Just thought I would post a few more screenies showing how my route extends from the original "V6E Demonstration" route:

The original "V6E Demonstration" route terminus square is shown to the left, with my line extensions to the right.

Here is the main junction on my tram route where the lines split in three different dirrections.

The main route to Veddel, Stadtpartk and Hauptbahnhof goes off to the left. The straight on route goes a short distance to Rödingsmarkt.

Hi,

Rolf will put the missing scenery objects and triggers to the DLS. So it should be possible to use the layout without the paywarepack with other trams and without missing objects. We see no problem to upload the modified demolayout to the DLS... .

Great stuff here. Are the traffic lights working? It would be more fun if you can have some traffic on the route.

 

[MarkHodgkinson]

..........We see no problem to upload the modified demo layout to the DLS... .

Excellent news, although there's still a bit of work to do on my route before I release it.

The traffic lights don't work, but there is traffic on most of the roads.

I've spent a couple of hours this evening tidying up the Veddel area of my route near the City Hall.

As you can see, I've added an intermediate tram terminus and cafe:

The work continues..............

The S-Bahn escalator pictured is actually made up of several assets put together as follows:

The Escalator:

The Blue Sign:

The clock that the S-Bahn logo is attached to is called "BS_klUhr" by Ulf_Freudenreich <kuid2:95148:10073:1>. Sorry, this is not on the DLS and I can't remember where I got it from.

Hope that helps.
