Std Gauge Fill Track

Hi folks,
Anyone have any suggestions for a nice TANE / 2019 gray ballast fill track?
I'm playing with a prototype short line that has a couple long fills. Even the 5 meter
grid is way too wide
Thanks a lot and have a great afternoon!
 
LOL...Well due to the overwhelming response and number of choices to choose from, I guess I see why I couldn't find any myself.
Thanks for looking though. It seems there's less and less content with each new version, unless you're into the 100 mph mainline stuff. :(
I'm particularly interested in backwoods US narrow gauge mining and logging. Seems the bottom fell out of this niche with the departure of '04
 
Some of the pbr "terrain" track will go quite high, don't know about narrow gauge.

I made a load for 2ft gauge, with deep fills and embankments but more suited to UK use and not (yet) procedural. For std gauge using separate embankments with track laid on top seems to be a common method. One of andi06's procedural track had a ballast that did extend to fill any gaps, however it did it on bridges as well, not sure if that was deliberate or something that got fixed however UK Track so probably not a lot of help.
 
If you do a CM search of "embankment" there are lots of them. Most have to have track laid on top, as pointed out above.
 
I aplogize for not seeing this forum topic sooner. I was busy doing non-Trainz stuff. I've been working on an extensive music project with my piano teacher, which requires many, many hours away from Trainz.

Anyway, some of the Jointed Rail tracks will fill in underneath which will help. It's not procedural, but it should work for you in those locations.

For some nice embankment splines, if you are interested, check out these by jim_spb.

Thanks guys...I never thought to search "embankment". I was wondering why there was such a limited number of "fill track". I'll have to check them out... THanks again!
 
I never thought to search "...

That sums up most of my frustration with the DLS/CM....

I do understand some of your frustration about the fills, my local area has many fills that are not easily recreated in Trainz, usually with a stone culvert at the very bottom...
