Junction Blades

[big_b]

I'm using (s_junctions) and similar in a route
I need to have a few dummys with no turn out for scenery box cars etc
Are there any dummy blades anyone knows of which are scenery items to make the junction look right in driver
I have used a spline rail but the ends are square not tapered
If not is anyone able to make a single tapered blade as a scenery item
Thanks Dave

If there isn't (and the track forms the blades) you could just make the switch normally but then have a gap in the track after the switch, so the AI doesn't use it. and for players name it something like "down for repairs" ect.

Here is how i create a dummy turnout that look real using bladed juctions:

In surveyer, the 2 black line points are then moved over the real rail, Holding SHIFT as I drop to prevent "linking". The 2 red lines are then moved in without the shift key. The unlined circle of the spur/side can be placed anywhere you want, same for the upper red line.(spline circles had to be manually added):


I added the lights to "mark the splines" for the final pic. This is in DRIVER zoomed out some to show the whole thing,(spline circles manually added) OOPS missed a spline, the missing circle is the upper black line, I have it literally beside the upper light ghosted over the true main


This is the final effect, zoomed in low. Looks right enough I hope. This too is in driver:


With this, you can drive your Mainline trains all day and night without the worry of interaction of this turnout as it does not "exist" on the main. It is literally a ghosted junction unattached to the real line.
Another added bonus is the switch can operate for cosmetic effect. Dont matter to the trains at all.

Hope this gives you an idea that may get you to the goal you seek.
