Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should set the track conditions for a narrow gauge railroad I'm building? I'm making a route based on a fictional 30 inch narrow gauge coal-hauling railroad in the hot deserts of Arizona back in the days if the Wild West. It runs from a connection with a 36 inch narrow gauge railroad in the town of Apache Junction, Arizona to a coal mine of the nearby Superstition Mountains. I'd like to make the track conditions to where it looks like it was built quickly, so the track is not the most stable track built, causing the trains to slightly move from side to side as it travels down the tracks, like it's 'waddling' down the tracks. I've seen this on several videos on YouTube of trains on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad traveling thru the flatter area outside of Durango, Colorado and would like to recreate it on my route. Does anyone have any suggestions on the track conditions I should use?
If you're wondering what inspired me with the location of the route, here's the inspiration. However, I replaced the gold mine with a coal mine. However, I must warn you: If you go searching for it, you may not return, forever.
