Steam Trainz Shots.

Thanks ever so much for your help skiingiggy, I'll do a bit of fine tweaking to get some more shots properly downloaded onto this thread in future. I have both steam and diesel pictures to share with the community. I hope that with time I will get this downloading lark off to perfection, I hope. :hehe:

Thanks Thorinoakin, the route is BM2BUSYSNOW off the DLS, it's a snowy re-make of the built-in British Midland layout, which has been excellently done by mi-tee.mike.master.

I suppose now that I have started to contribute you would like to see some more shots maybe ??

Cheers. ex-railwayman.

There is something seriously wrong with the General in your post or your rails have been made incorrectly. Look at your posted image and note how the wheels are sitting below the rail top. There is the same effect with the tender bogies, and there is also a normals problem with the bogie wheels.

Did you make this?

No I didn't,It cause the rail is kinda leaning to 1 side,as its on a hill,just havn't been able to fix as I'm tided up in my other projects.
If you look closly in the first pic,you can see the wheels on the other side of the train and you will see that they are lifted up off the rails.

I agree, it is the track, not the loco. How did you make the track lay on an angle like that, I have just tried laying track on the side of a slope and it always stays level, even on the steepest slope?

Strange.

I also apologize most sincerely to whoever made the loco for thinking it was faulty.

That I have no answer to.Except a lot of the narrow gauge stuff automaticly levels it out.And just normal track does that for me. And its a long straight track no turns etc. and no other points in between just I ran it over the side of the hill in 1 pass.

Peter, in Surveyor under surveyor options turn off "fixed track vertex height" before you lay the track. Spline circles will be white instead of yellow. The track will "float" on the terrain and both height and twist angle will conform to the slope. If you move the terrain the track moves with it. It gives a kind of distressed look to the track as each segment of the spline conforms to the gnd height.

I just noticed that this happens with track that has a mesh file with it. Chunky-mesh tracks seem to stay level regardless.

Thanks, that explains why it happened although it seems a little illogical to me. I can see no reason to do that as the locos and stock won't follow the track inclination.

Cheers

Peter check my edit as it looks like chunky-mesh behaves differently. About the only place I'd use this is to creat a section of old un-maintained track that should have a distressed appearence to it. I wouldn't use it with a lot of twist - as you noted the trains stay level and the wheels appear to rise off and dig into the rails.
