I'm updating an older '04 route to '19 and I was looking for ideas that would closely emulate the 3ft track shown. Any ideas? Thanks

There are 71 of them in content manager. Do search by name "3ft" and category "Track"

Thanks for that.

I would recommend using anything 3ft "Procedural", for oblivious reasons.

Cheers, Mac...

Yeah, thanks Mac, I went up and down the DLS. Everything is too clean for a run-down backwoods NG railroad. CR45 Spur 3 is about right, but it's only in SG. It's dated, but I like the look. Oh well, like they say..." Beggers can't be chosers"

You could try searching for NG36 and Track.

Thanks... Been there, done that MANY times, but thanks for the input anyway

So, @rick1958 - is it that the ballast texturing is not what you're looking for? Or is the track texture not worn looking enough?

Hey Rico...Probably a little of both. This is a screenshot of CR45 Spur 3. This gets the blue ribbon. Little remaining ballast, weeds and rail that's spiked with a prayer. The only problem is, he never made it in NG. Nice selection in SG, but no NG. The series even comes in terrain and non-terrain! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anything even close.

@rick1958 - I reskinned of dangavels dspp tracks, the one on the far left has the texture from the CR45 3 track.
The resolution is really blurry, since I had to upscale the image.

I'll rework a new ballast texture and post here in a bit.

@rick1958 - Here's the finished track. I rebuilt the ballast and the ties and enlarge the texture to 1024x2048.

Will this work? Showing next to the CR45 3 SG track. I can make the ties grey if you want that.

Love it Rico! Perfect. Any chance you're going to make it available?

Yes, of course. I'll PM you with a CDP of the track. Gimme a minute. I'll upload to the DLS as well.

Perfect...Exactly the look I was shooting for. Thanks again!
