ish is it possible to make the lattice (horz. and vert. )paintable , i can think of many uses if its possible

Good Morning Gern,
Sorry, but I do not understand what item you are talking about – Please clarify, and I will help you out!
Take Care

Thank you very much Ish. And yes you may! The buildings I could use help with in a large space port. About a flat car. Have you seen my MARSZ-D M6 Container Unit <KUID:387111:100902>. It's like a flat car. At this time it only holds my containers but that can be changed if you want. A true flat car is in the works for driving equipment up a ramp onto the car. The ramp is in the works too. As fare as different rails. The next place I'm going is high speed monorail to move peolpe to the space port from Midway Station. I do plan on using rail when I start making my steel mill and Mar-creek plant. And I just posted my switch set. Thanks again Don

Good Morning Don,

Thanks for the kuids, sir – I missed
that one – I have not been much in trainz – I need to check these
things out, and perhaps make containers to accommodate your flatcar,
in the future – Another version of a flatcar as you mentioned
sounds delightful – Perhaps flatcars with transparency to carry
loads that need to be protected from dust, but yet, require to be in
open sunlight, etc lol --- just some crazy ideas throwing here that I
have been thinking about!

The monorail idea is a great concept –
Not sure if you have seen my monorail collection at the DLS, but that
system was done so long ago that I have forgotten about … The made
the rail to be the same size of that from the disney monorail system
that is at the DLS – Just a system for consideration, but if make
your rail with the same dimension of that of mine then a whole system
can be merge together – Anyhow, either way you go, the Marsz
community is going to benefit greatly!
As for the railing, no rush – That's
what so great about trainz, it never has an ending – I have been
here since 2001, and still I come with ideas – I am sure you and
many other feel the same – never a rush!
Again, as always, thank you for joining
our small community here – You work is always appreciated it!

Take Care, sir
Ishie
PS. I blind through my right eye, so I
use big fonts, etc … LOL

as of now the paint (gravel, trees etc ) goes trough the latices which is good but is it possible to paint them to use them as walls , caves etc it would make for endless possiblities

 

[1940gerns]

basicly a thin paintable wall and the horz. one could become floor or ceiling as in caves using dig holes

underground cities for planets with bad air or to make a tunnel any size you want without all the use of the design programs us lesser wizards can't get a handle on

Hello Marsz-lings,
The MARSZ-D Switch is on the DLS. Each switch has two parts. The base and the track with two types of base. One that snaps to the 5m grid and one that doesn&#8217;t. I put together some pictures you can copy to your desk top. And a ground texture called Mar-Creet. Enjoy Don49plm

What is it your wanting to make, Gerns. Let me know a size and shape and I'll see what I can do for ya. I too am working on some under ground stuff for Marsz. Don

 

[1940gerns]

1. having a tunnel big enough to handle the larger equipment we now have. 2. on a no air planet being able to build underground using a dig hole and a texture usable flat or horizontal piece like the mars lattice would be ideal its thin and even the ribs could be explained as construction mats , painted like stone or anything in your mind can invision 3.something simple to make building easy and yet look good , i better get off my soap box before i bore you all , any help in these areas would really make things easier i think

 

[1940gerns]

i know i didn't really answer your question don, but i hope i cleared up my ramblings a little

I already have a hole host of tunnels. Mybe I should share?.. On the way today. next: Walls 20m x 20m that snap to grid and turn at 90 deg. with a raise, lower amount of 20m made with Mar-creet. Them you can go down 40m. And the roof. Do you what to see down through it? or soild from both sides?

 

[1940gerns]

solid both sides would be great we have the lattices for see through but one side would work also as you can see your making me get greedy by the way i see davesnow released ethanol engines yesterday i would love to see them in your crap color scheme. they look futureistic. have a good weekend--gerns

I made the walls and floor/ceiling 40m x 40m. I started to do 20 and thought that was to small. It would take to meny to make something big enough to cover a train. Have you seen my HS18a and b heavy switcher unit for use on planet earth? Chech out the UP and BNSF ones. There the best of the ones I did. Enjoy Don

 

[1940gerns]

the 40x40 should be good for all uses of which we have been talking about. i have d/l all of the items you have uploaded so far . bn and up are my first choices in real life roads . last october i took the amtrak , milwaukee to portland to seattle to milwaukee redueing a trip we made in 1962 to the world fair . theirs been many changes . mainly freight has priority over passengers ,we had to pull over many times to let freights pass.

 

[1940gerns]

great stuff don , it will bee very usefull

 

[DON49PLM]

Thanks Gens. So I take it you found this stuff. Now I'm working on signals.

Good Afternoon Colonists -- It's been a while, and my apologies for that -- But I am here, and I do hop on to see if Don created anything new, etc or anyone has any questions, from time to time! Honestly, as you know, I have not been into trainz all that much these weeks -- Nevertheless, Marsz, as well as my other ideas, will flourish once this funk I am in now pass! However, the time has been spend well -- I have been watching plenty of scifi movies and tv programs, and gotten ideas from those, and yes, I have written those ideas down for future use! -- With that said, you are welcome to use this blog to displayed any marsz or scific concept from a trainz point of view, and share it with us, like how Don and Germ has done! Anyhow, please bare with me these summer weeks, with such a lack of contents, etc -- For that, I am sorry --- All in all, thanks for staying here, with this concept! Everyone please take care! Ishie -- PS Still have not figure how or why the enter key does not work to skip for the next line -- only happens here, in the trainz forum --- it happened after I updated the OS to windows 8!!!

 

[1940gerns]

not a problem we are all working on projects i'm sure - i am off crutches now and hope to have some pics soon--gerns

 

[DON49PLM]

Good to hear from you Ishie. I do hope you pull out of the "funk" your in. As for me, I'm here nursing a back injury and have AWAY to much time on my hands. Trainz all keeps the mind working... Ishie, I've worked through the signal problem I was having and have around 10 types of signals matching the propertys of the Jounted Rail Searchlight signal system. Soon on that. Gerns, I too have gone underground and have made some stuff to hold up the roof. I'll share some pics and download it all later today. Again, thanks Ish, Don

 

[DON49PLM]

Here are a few pics of a base i made at -1100 m. It show the 40m x 40m x 20m high sections. I also made a 40m x 20m wall to place along the side. I'll let you know when it listed.

very nice indeed,looking forward to using them
