In the picture quoted is that supposed to be a funicular? If so it might interest you to look at cyberstorm's funiculars.

Looking good!

What type track, and turnouts do you like best for the "Curve" ? I'm experimenting with some animated points in my yards, but am unsure if they will take a hit on my framerate ? Your scenery looks great, you got talent ! What is the size of you route, in boards ? Does it have an actual gradient ? Are you working from a DEM ? Is it from Altoona to Cassandra, or Altoona to Johnstown ? Can't wait to see more !

I try to use track that matches the photos, I'm looking for detailed track similar to this but it's hard to find.

I'm using the DEM and I don't know the size. I'm just doing from Altoona yard to Cresson yard.

 

[lsstaten]

now you could just reskin some track just like that.

I have considered that. If I can't find any I'll do that.




Thanks ice :wave:

Conrail heads downgrade towards Altoona while Amtrak heads upgrade towards Horseshoe and Gallitzin

I placed four of the gfisher tracks together and my computer almost froze, but there is a low poly version of the second one, I think I'll use that.
