Hi guys, need a little advice from an old hand!

Hi all, I am working on a 50's, 60's UK route that I remember as a kid. I have found a viaduct that matches my memory, it is called FMA viaduct 2t in old stone! My problem is that the tag point of the above mentioned scenery spline is at the base of the support pillar and not at track level! which is 8 yards too low. I can not connect any bridges or support bases to the viaduct. Can I edit this viaduct in any way to make it connect at track top level or is it a basket case! Thanks for any replies in advance Zapata935
 
If you lay BNSF Invisatrack ... and fiddle with the two end spline point heights, and slide it under the viaduct ... a trackside object may attach to the BNSF Invisatrack, and get the achivement you desire ... IDK ?

The HOLD SHIFT KB Key stops splines from joining like mag-a-nets.

The first magnets were discovered in long ago in Europe, whilst digging in the soil, farmers struck the mineral "Magnetite", and they exclamed: "Hey...These rocks are stuck to my shovel" !

Thanks, I think I understand what you are suggesting but it does not solve my problem, I can not bury it in terrain as a river and road that I need to span, run close under the viaduct! Thanks anyway
 
Am I right in thinking that the viaduct is a scenery spline and that you want to connect track splines to it? If this is so, then I'm afraid you can only connect like to like.

Zapata935 - One suggestion I have is to lay your chosen track along the track bed of the viaduct, at the correct height, and then connect the track assets to that track spline instead of to the viaduct itself. Careful positioning should give a good result, I think.

Some of my viaducts work similarly to this.

Hi Zapata935,

Lay your track straight over the viaduct as below.

The spline height for the track needs to be precisley 8.00m higher than the viaduct spline height.
