@UPBigBoy,

Ok. I'll see what I can play with on those. I'd love to see some bracket signals from JR/SAXRT. B&O, C&O, NYC, NW, etc. I know Grahamsea made some, but JR's smart scripts make the difference for me.

@justinroth,

I did the uneven terrain method, and it seems to work pretty well. My only question is, is it possible to have a "leaning" train if a certain section of track has one rail higher than the other? I'd love to be able to make a good PC, or MAW-style screwed-up, horribly maintained line with rocking trains.

Think you're mixing me up with UPBigBoy, heheh. Anyway, Trainz doesn't have lean. The train will follow only the track centerline along z axis straight up, with wheels dipping into the rails if the track is tilted. You could put this in suggestion boxcar though.

 

[DJReonic]

Yeah... Apparently I got a little dyslexic. I fixed it though. Thanks. I was just wondering.

 

[DJReonic]

So, I made my own Bracket Signal Setup. I wonder If I could use PEV's Attachment Maker to put a clone of that little pillar on the bottom of the bracket. Any Ideas?

 

[cascaderailroad]

The signal bracket looks great ... are you talking about the concrete base being attached to the signal, way up high on the bracket, that would be unrealistic ?

 

[DJReonic]

Nope. I'm talking about getting it attached right where it is in the picture. I've played with the attachment maker before, so I'm pretty sure it can be done, I just need some guidance on how to do it correctly so I'm not fumbling around and getting mad at it.

 

[justinroth]

let me know if you have any luck.

 

[Bluewater]

Where'd ya get the stand for the brackets?

 

[DJReonic]

So here's an actual setup I put together on my project on the UMR 2014 "Lite" route at the IW South Squeeze. NOTE: I used the Concrete Pillar 1x1x5 m under the bracket to accomodate the height diference.

Here's a view of the Olde & Weerey Junction, taken from the O&W branch. You can see the semaphores used on this branch of the route, as well as the Interlocking Bracket Signals in the background on the IW line.

And this shot bearly made it...


One of AngelC's new animal creations. You can't have Pennsylvania without black bears (in trains?)!

Ok, guys. Last pics of the day. Just wanted to show my new signal setups in action.

IW Line signals.

Small NYC Autorack Train charging into Fisherville. Notice the new bridge where a grade crossing used to be. I'm getting rid of crossings where I can, and the remaining high-speed crossings are being replaced with the SAXRT ATLS crossings from Ryanstrains. The low speed and branch line crossings will probably stay the way they are for now.

The gates coming down at the new crossing in Fisherville. You can see the Interlocking signals in the background.

Question: Is anybody else having the problem of vanishing vegetation? I have mostly McGuirel's stuff, and sometimes it won't load in Driver.

My Bering Strait crossing railway update. Not of the actual bridge (yes, it will be a bridge and not a tunnel)

A full UP container train backing up to the freight terminal. On the left - an M62 with a ballast train heading from the track facility (just behind the Union Pacific traction maintenance facility) to the construction of Bejing - Vostok mainline. On the right - container and oil trains in the arrival yard.

UP traction maintenance facility and their offices in the background

A park for the employees.

I have been confused with someone else about signalling? Signalling?....the department I try to stay away from as long as I can :hehe:

I'm sorry, that I found funny.

Now I will disappear back to a non-signaled territory

Sweet Pics, would love to see your version released.

 

[viesturs]

Thanks Hert!
I'm still at the Eurasia part... Direction to the Americas is still "under construction"



In the mean time you can look at Gasprom's railway line to Bovanenkovo. Completed in 2011 with plans of future extension the 572 km line is the most northerly line in the world and the fruits of imagination for my Bering strait Intercontinental railway. http://www.gazprom.com/press/reports/2013/yamalskiy-express/

What are those cranes your using?

 

[viesturs]

Those are the broad gauge KDE 253 and KDE 161 type cranes. I got them just yesterday from a Russian site I can't remember the name of. Was something ".net".

 

[UPbigboy]

no need to be so rude

I am only voicing this to keep the peace. I initially got Taylor's comment as being somewhat rude just as Stevo did....not to say anyone is wrong or right about the situation....but it just goes to show how the text world is unfortunately completely open for interpretations.

I just figured it was Feather River Shortline #8

Finally someone got it right...it only took how long? :hehe:

...wondering if it is a reskin or an actual new model...

Yes.....and no....that's all I will say

Any pointers on the "bad track" techniques? I tried using the gazillion-spline-point method, and got tired of it quickly for anything other than very small stretches of track. Are there any other ways to do it?

I use the "gazillion-spline-point method"....personally, at the pace I build routes now a days, doing this method isn't too tiring as I rarely extend any track for long periods of time.

As for any other methods, none that I am aware of that create the same warp effect that rail does.

I guessed the locomotive pretty quick, I just kept the thoughts to myself for a while in case I was wrong
