WMATA Track

Hey guys,
I have been using the CP Concrete track as a stand in for WMATA track and quite frankly its a pretty good matchup. I got it off the DLS if anyone is interested. However I have run into an issue. I need a version without the third rail for crossovers and service rr crossing. I searched around on the DLS and I believe the creator did not make a track w/o the third rail. However I could have overlooked something. So if anyone can help me find it or can take the 3rd rail off for me that would be great!
This is what the track looks like which I have implemented almost 100% in the WUT area:

I have run into another problem. As some of you may know there is a freight bypass around DC. When conrail and PRR were using it they electrified it with PRR style catenary. Well nowdays CSX owns and maintains it. CSX has taken the wires that are used by the locomotive off but have left the farme as well as the powerlines at the top.

Notice how the frame is till there as well as powerlines up at the top. Its on the left:

So if anyone can tell me how to remove the lower wires or can do it for me on the 3 track tall, 4 track tall and 3 track w/o overhead lines that would be great. Here is a pic of the standard 3 track w/o overhead lines or powerlines:

When I ever go into the config files and delete the lines the space where they were turns up balck or white like so:

Thanks

Davis

Clone the object, edit in explorer, find the TGA file for the lines, and erase the lines to the grey and white squares. save.

Thanks man! I got it to work!

Problem Solved

I finally got the sign into Trainz. :clap: Turns out I needed to add a mesh table to the config file.

Here's what it looks like

What it looks like on a building

MK Concrete is the CP Concrete without the 3rd rail. It's on the DLS.

 

[strench707]

Thank you very much! That will help tremendously.

Hey guys,
I was getting kinda bored of DC so I went down the list of stations and I picked Williamsburg, VA. I just kinda did the simple layout of it not too much scenery. Now Im gonna head back up North and start putting the garages and covers on WUT.

Heres a pic if anyone's interested: (can you belive its only single track here w/ 4 regionals and a bunch a CSX Coal Trains, it still amazes me)

Progress has been stunted because CMP will not work right. Its really rather annoying, I found a good stand in for the WUT building and then CMP said I wasnt registered, Then I re opened CMP and it logged me in but it wouldnt download anything. I would the download button the cursor would switch to the loading cursor and then nothing would happen. It would just stay empty.

Until I can work past this, Ill have to stop.

Davis

 

[srr89]

If your CMP can still import CDP's, then you can download items via FTP. That's what I always did when CMP acted up on me.

Your Assets.tdx prolly got corrupted somehow... I suggest deleteing it from the Auran folder(if it's still there) to make it rebuild.

 

[strench707]

Thanks for the tips guys, Ill see what I can do... I just dont understnad why this stuff has to happen so much.

Davis

 

[strench707]

Alright after like a 1/2 hr of tinkering around I got it back up and running.

Thanks again guys.
