Narrow gauge track laying

[nfitzsimmons]

What does one use for a bumper at the end of narrow gauge track. I see bumpers for standard gauge, but haven't been able to locat anything dor use with 3 ft gauge.

What version are you using? if you've got 06' I'd suggest the 3ft gauge or 2ft gauge track ends,, which are just two wood 2x4's stuck in the track. They're in the track objects tab. if you've got 04' I think, if they're not built in already, you can just get them off the DLS. I'll get you the kuid. The other solution is just to raise the ground a bit at the end of the track so the rails go into the ground, though that doesn't stop the train.

EDIT: The track ends are by Elvenor, kuid's 63290:24006 and 24007.

Thanks, but I did a search, and it couldn't locate either of those KUID's.

Did you tick all of the version boxes in the search window

You were right; they were. Don't know why I didn't find them the first time.

i like to use pile of grass and pile of gravel rail ends.

easy way to find them is from track, go to the middle button on top (of the track db), forget what its called, that'll put you in where all the abutents and rail ends are. then click on the click name space, and type "p". you should then see it below and scroll to it. (or of course you could type in "pi" or "pile")

that is if you have the kuid it's in. i don't remember if that's a came with or i picked it up somewhere.

the one alanti showed looks good for 3' gauge. the pile ones work in all the narrow gauges. i tend to like 2', and 760.
