Hello, I recently upgraded to TS2009 WBE and am trying to recreate the NIMT north of Wellington towards Paraparaumu. I have been admiring the work on these threads espically those by Ryan McC (Well Done) and am wondering if I could have any tips with what I am doing?
Hi nzms,
Welcome to the world of Trainz. Say goodbye to your normal life, this will take up lots of your spare time.
One suggestion is download The Johnsonville Line by Fender849. This line runs up to the top end of Johnsonville. Go to the north end and take note of the terrain altitude, write it down so you don't forget. Then start the south end of your route at the same altitude, this makes it simple to merge the two routes at a later date. I also suggest using either DEM overlay maps or Google Earth to get the line and terrain acurate. There are tricks to getting things right and there are tricks to doing the terrain without loading your computer too much, but have a go and see what happens. There will always be someone on the forums who can help with any problems you run into.
Cheers,
Bill69
Looks like you are going well with the Hutt Valey line Ryan. Any idea when you might release it?
Cheers,

All the Way to Upper Hutt Part A
Well, here it is, the electrified area is complete. The 1st train was a Ganz.
running alongside the highway and the Manor Park Golf Course.
Silverstream Bridge
Silverstream station
Departing Trentham
Into the dock at Upper Hutt as a Wairarapa service will follow.
Some good speed for a DC can be obtained in the few km's before Upper Hutt - Trentham again
The long straight to Wallaceville

Must be fairly recent years, that big brown building to the right of the Upper Hutt station has not been there very long (last pic) nor has the next building to the north but the sawmill, farther north, has been there for a few years although it has recently been upgraded. Its the only sawmill in the Greater Wellington area with a rail line running into it.
Cheers,

Hi Bill69,
As I am building the line as it is currently, the modern one will suit better.
Thanks,
nzms
Hi Ryan, Do you have a kuid No. and/or assett description. I do not recognise it and cannot find it ( I possibly cannot see the wood for the trees)- I have TRS2006, TRS2009, and TRS2010.
Cheers, Fender
