To make the Horseshoe Line in Trainz there is alot of technical detail and trackcharts needed. I am happy to provide you, and anyone else, with detailed information on all locations.
All the "curves" of tracks have names: ie: McGarveys, McGinnleys, Alligripis, Bennington: http://www.billspennsyphotos.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=78124254
Salpino Curve-in honor of Oscar Salpino-Deceased-PRR Track Foreman.
To make a route without exact gradients, and true to life scenes, would be nit-picked apart by railfans that know the area. Several persons in MSTS have created a Horseshoe that looks nothing like the actual area, with giant Redwood Seqouias, and other unprototypical topograpic scenes.
In my decades of railfanning (trespassing) I have traveled to virtually all the inacessable "curves" and remote locations. I will be happy to give you details on each location. Where curves and straight segments are, and more information why there are the 2 grade separations at Bennington & Rt 53 Bridge.
The gradients varry greatly from Altoona to Cresson. Pretty much of the East Slope from Altoona to Tunnel Hill is @ 1.75%
See: http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/cascaderailroad/AltoonaCresson.jpg
The one red arrow shows that the Portage bore is at a higher elevation, than the less steep Allegheny & Gallitzin bore.
The other two red arrows point to the track gradient, and degree of curve radius.
When people picture the Horseshoe Curve line, they usually only see only the "Curve" itself ... when in fact the East Slope & West Slope is a 37 mile long gradient up and over the Allegheny Front Range.
I am really liking this Marz thing. Can you create a Saturn IV rocket in Trainz ? :mop: :udrool: :mop: (I watched each and every Cape (Canaveral) Kennedy rocket launch take-off when I was a child).

I am just thrilled with these Marz base's and rocketship landers ... absolutely facinating http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFods1KSWsQ

Hi arraial,
I can wait until you have time to spare to release your work, you have a number of projects going at the moment so you are very busy. I am working on an Airport using Ian's great planes and content so that will keep me busy for some time :hehe:
You work just amazes me and when I can I would like to work on a project with it.
Many thanks for all the effort and contribution you are making to the Trainz Community, it is very much appreciated by me and many others.

Several hundered million years separated the cave man, from the dinosaurs walk on Earth.They look great arraial, I love the detail in the huts as well.
I know why there are no people around too, I would not stay around with him walking through my village :hehe:

Is that King Kong, I hear comming ?

Hi People the part 09 of Mars base Alpha is ready is going to be upload today in dls, and we have the final part 10 to finish and that part conclude the all base project. I hope people enjoy it.
Hi arraial,
I am having a few problems with some of your Marsz items.
The first problem is with your Marsz_Eagle Warship (524343:5635) and Marsz Vanguard (524343:5639/5637). These all have a hornsound kuid:-2:1480 which I can not find in 2010. I am not sure if it is a typing error or something in your version of 2010 that is not in mine. Also, in your Warship you have in your kuid-table -2:1475 but I can not see it any where in the Config file so can I just delete this entry?
My next problem is trying to fit all your parts together like in the diagram above. While I can work some/most of it out I am still confused. I wonder if at some time you can color code the diagram and give the names of the parts as you have released them. Maybe another idea is when Part 10 is completed you could put it all together on a sample layout and release it on the DLS so others can work out/see the set up. When I try to put all the parts together, some of the center sections overlap, is this how it should work?
The other thing I am not sure of but you may already have plans for this, is a Mono-rail track for vehicles to run on. I can not find one on the download station that matches yours though you may know of one, if so could you please let me know.
Anyway, I have been having fun playing around with all your great work.
Many Thanks,
Craig

We can make it drive horizontaly, like any loco does, and fly on BNSF50 Invisatrack laid almost straight up to the Trainz stratosphere. How high can Trainz track go up, or down, elevation wise ? ? ?

maglev rail
The maglev rail is - Maglev GuideRail <kuid:37522:1001>
Maglev Guideway <kuid:37522:1002>
SEEMSEEM this is built it from 2010 ee
Other thing is the map .. all model starts by 01,02, etc any asset have 1 plan for theyr location you must put the control command part 01 first but i gonna put here the entire map...the kuid you can erase then for the warships because is a horn clone asset and dont do nothing you can erase in content manager and the kuid table to...
Lather i post here more details.

They can go totally in vertically because when i make the shuttle i put a.frontlimb in the top and a.backlimb in the bottom of Saturn iv and the spline can up in total vertically ...how much you can fly up?...do this cascaderaylroad in surveyor hit key Alt dont let go the key ...then hit u key (this in TRS2010 in trainz classics and others i dont know).....now you stay in fly mode, and you can up,up,up and a way ehehehehehhe
