(5) Updates!!
Hey All---
The trackwork for the (5) has been coming along slowly due to the holidays but I have finally made it down to Brooklyn Bridge, and the City Hall Loop. Tomorrow I shall break ground into Brooklyn.
Also, major announcement, I'm upgrading the (5) to include the (4) and (6) as well. In the Bronx, only the Jerome & Pelham branches need to be finished, and the branch to Utica Av.
Enjoy these few pictures!
(4)(5) express tracks descend north of 42 St
14 St-Union Square looking north
Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Loop
And yeah, that is a custom station I built just for City Hall.
And lastly, progress strip map:
Happy Holidays,
-A :wave:

*cough* Eye candy?
I think it's high time I got this done and released before I resume work on the R160. This shouldn't take much longer(although that doesn't mean it will be released anytime soon).
I'll also be reworking the stations and lowering the poly count on the el tracks. stay tuned.

(6) Local stations included
Yeah, tell me about it! I got started with NYCTA a few years back using the BAHN program, and I built a complete NYCTA route using "Tracks of the NYC Subway" by Peter Dougherty, and the layout included all of the yards as well. So, I've had some practice. It's difficult to get started, but once I've been working on it for 20-30 minutes, it gets a little easier.
The (6) stops are included on the route as well, I thought it would be silly to leave them out (this was before I announced the addition of the (4) and (6) to the route. I would like my routes to be interactive for the players, so if you felt like sending a (2) down the (5) line, or a (5) on the local, you could very well do so. Again, you're somewhat limited, as the (2) route "ends" west of GC-149 St; the South Ferry loops for the old (1) end/begin in bumper blocks outside of the station, and the (2)(3) connection at Boro Hall only includes the station which (yep, you got it), ends in bumper blocks. This is to limit my work to just the immediate route (4)(5)(6), yet build enough of the connections to seem realistic. I don't know if I've already announced this, but I am always saving two different copies of the routes, and in early 2012 will be resuming the FULL NYCTA layout.
Also, finally finished Manhattan a few minutes ago, and built the Joralemon tubes and Boro Hall Station. I should tackle downtown Brooklyn and Rogers Junction before the end of the week. Once trackwork is laid, then I'll relax for Christmas and resume on the most challenging part--signalling and signs.
Happy Holidays everyone!

There's really no way to detach the tracks themselves. You can change the kuid number in the config to one for an invisible track asset, however, you won't be able to really "attach" other tracks over the invisible ones since they'll technically still be tracks, though invisible. Any visible tracks will still snap to the ends of the splines. I hope that made sense?
Actually it should be possible by deleting the attached-track sections from the config.txt.
Metro station 02,<kuid:275817:60531>
Has attached tracks, the clone;
297 subway station 02,<kuid:522774:100625>
Does not have attached tracks since I wanted to use AJS invisible stations with it.

Why PJAMA, gosh he doesn't owe you anything sheesh be patient. I once rushed someone and I got %$@#^^@%$^ (that's not meant to be a curse word). So just let him be finished when he is. I doubt he is... Most trainzers tend to want to let others know when they finish making content they think is good :hehe:
