Model Railroadz

[conrailfan1999]

Wow this thread has really taken off, there are lots of great routes being made! I have watched the video on how to make a model railroad multiple times and I just can't get it right. So I was curious if there is any model railroad routes or bases for route available. I would love to make one myself off another route where the "benchwork" has already been setup.

Nice signal there, Coleton.

You know what would make it look like a model railroad? Huge furniture!

 

[trainsim1995]

Montanawestern were did you get the signals?

 

[montanawestren]

so im not the only one considering furniture, but alas its too big

also thanks guys, the signal isn't available yet

I have some Backdrop Splines (NOTE: These are SPLINES and not static backdrops) free for downloading and use. There is also a Wall spline.

very short Video showing one of the splines:

Get the splines here:

I hope these will be useful in Model Railroadingz.

In the process of building a layout now trying a simple 4'x8' which equates to about 1.2m x2.4m. Just a quick question if I chose real scale measurements it turns out real small, but if i switch to HO measurements it looks more dimensionally appropriate. Is there something I'm missing?

Where did you obtain the backdrop spline?

conrailfan --

"So I was curious if there is any model railroad routes or bases for route available."

I was thinking about a small layout to run Ben Neal's latest masterpiece and came across this layout on the Web:

I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon and today working on it. The track is all done and the structures in place. Textures still to go. And the finishing touches.

A few more hours and it will be done. It's surprising how quickly this kind of route can be put together.

So, conrail, soon.

As with all my routes, all dependencies are either built-in to TS12 or from the Download Station.

It seems to me these are layouts, not routes.

It seems to me these are layouts, not routes.

So? I think this is an absolutely wonderful new twist on Trainz.

I have tried for so long to replicate Model Railroader layouts in Trainz, and once I get my computer back up and running, I think it could finally become a reality.

There's some great work posted in this thread.

With the exception of those destined to become multi-deck, why are the layouts set so low at 40"? I would think most would want a single level somewhere in the 48" to 52" range.

My first effort - Hallgarth & Fiddler's Yard, almost ready for upload:

Edit: Link not working, see screenshot in this thread at TS.com: http://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showthread.php?317549-Model-Railroadz/page2

Narrow gauge layout based on a plan in the Feb 2014 Railway Modeller, essentially a figure of eight loop with an off stage fiddle yard but hopefully a stepping stone en route to something more elaborate.
