I don't know the Kuid but it is called the Oresund bridge. it's a double deck road/rail bridge I may have mispelled it but you can type in bridges in the download station and it should pop up. Pagroove used only the main suspension bridge (The cable one) and the segment. you can donwload the connector part if you want to. Hope that helped.

Hi Railshuttle. Nice to see you took a ride on the Electro Island Shinkansen line. Strange issue you have there with the water texture. It is on the DLS. I did redownload it on a clean install of Trainz and at first it was looking like in your picture but it turned out that not all dependencies where downloaded. I will look into the kuid number for you.
Also @ marinemania. Nice pics there. Looking forward to your route.

Catenary B Spline
Good News everyone!
After many painstaking hours I have converted Kenichiro's Catenary B Track into a stand alone spline. Here's some screens of my hard earned labor.
Below are the spline with tracks being laid down separate and the original content for reference.
I have one last bug to iron. If I figure this out then in the future will could see catenary content where we don't require an anchor to make a catenary ending.
It is worth noting that the wire spacing is wider on Kenichiro's catenary track than Keimei's. Anyone thinking Hanshin, Kintetsu, or Keisei railroad modeling?
Update: After a few minutes I found the task of making ended splines more difficult. I will play with the spline settings if using the content kind track doesn't want to work.
In the mean time I am using a piece of content I managed to split as a stand alone object.

this is great news marinemania!! now it will be possible to run the wires over grade crossings and stations without having to use other cantenary!! I think the reason Kenichiro's was wider was for the standard gauged tracks of 2004-2006 while Keimi's was made for the narrow gauged tracks of 2009 and beyond. And yet you can still fit two standard gauged tracks under Keimei's wires and they still look great.
I would greatly appreciate it pagroov, If you could find the missing water texture kuid number because most of the missing kuids are not on the DS anymore. I'm guessing they no longer exist.

Marinemania: good to hear you figured it out.
I started with creating an ai session where all trains will be driving since the trackwork is finished already, so far had an few issues including that I had to change an few things to the layout for it to work better with the ai but nothing mayor yet.
2 main changes, I already have added the trains for the future extension Minato (4 trains) so I can test it better and avoid future problems, I have created an temporarily siding inside the wall that you can see in the next 2 pics.
Next I have desided to remove the small container depot since it created to many ai problems with other traffic.
But…
Instead I have moved it an bit further away, I increased the table lenght and it became an container terminal, you can see the result in the next pics.

pretty awesome Marinemania!! I was wondering what became of the container trains cause I didn't see them in earlier pics. You mentioned there was AI problems with the trains at the container terminal. Could you describe what the problems were? Did the ai trains go there by mistake?
What a fantastic route Acelaamtrak. I really appreciate all the work and details you have put into this project 
. What are the containers and trailer cars? Are they on the DLS?
I'm now in waiting mode for TANE. I have to decide to build my route further on that or stay on TS12 61388 for a while and build on that version. But I had some fun with aircraft. Next version of Electro Island will probably contain 3 airports. 2 domestic and one international.

The red and blue container trailers were made by Hirochi and they are drivable. I've seen TANE and it's pretty impressive. Still TS12 still has some life in it and we're getting lots of cool Japan content for it. I haven't really explored the driveable airplanes yet. How does that work?
As for my little upgrade, I've started rehabbing the East Indavalley Line a few days ago, I've extended the east end of the route about 3 miles to a small little town called Sandleaf. I redid the original end of the line into a new town called Eastwick, upgraded the city of Haribara, and touched up on the Blue Bay Airport express line terminal. I'm using the TWM metros for test trains for now, I still haven't chosen an "official" train for it yet Next will be to update the line form Blue Bay beach to East Lake, the transfer station to the Sanito Line. Take care everyone!!

[/IMG]Great progress. (hope you make still backups). Thanks for the tip for the trailers. That reminds me that I still should look for you what the missing textures are. I have not forgotten that so I will take a look today.
If you want to know how aircraft work in trainz I recommend this excellent page by Vulcan (Ian): http://ianztrainz.com
He has made very handy items like the runway. There are pictures which explain how to connect the runway to invisible track. Oh and helicopters are good fun to. If you want to have a go then experiment first in a different route.

Pagroove: Like Railshuttle wrote, the trailers are from Hirochi, they are called JCAT TRACTOR and JCAT TRAILER0 till 7, I put them there using man6 invisible track.
The smaller green and white containers are Keimei's JNR Container R11/5100/5500/6000 scenery, the carriage carrying them is Keimei's JNR Chiki5500 flatcar.
Am looking forward to your airports, I had alot of fun creating them on my older map (sagoda) and it makes it more interesting especially if you let the ai land, takeoff and fly towards other airport automatically.
Also Andi has an new train for pre-order it looks pretty good.

Wow I just can't believe how fast that thing is! It looks awesome!

Wow Hirochi that was pretty fast cranking that new speed king out but I'm curious as to how the engineer will see anything ahead of him? There doesn't seem to be any front windows to see ahead out of.
Here's a video from Youtube. You see that there is a front camera. You can see also that this train reaches 300 km/h after just 1:30.This video is not from the 603km/h record run.

Ok so this train is like automated with no engineer at all? just the front view camera. Man that thing was moving!!! thanks for sharing the video!! it make the record 300 kph seem like a snails pace!!
