I've been slowly learning how to use the route editor and am working on a trolley route as well as a subway/elevated route modelled after the IRT in New York. Subways go faster because of the lack of scenery except for the above ground portions. Got most of what I need from this file library as well as Chicago Elevated and the U79 Statbahn German route. Haven't done any interactive work yet. If anyone knows if there is a site to download New York City Subway tunnels, please let me know. I see its quite extensive in the BVE sim but I haven't come across anything in MSTS format. Is it possible to convert BVE objects for use in MSTS?I finally took some screengrabs today of each route. Hope I'm successful uploading them.

If you can import ,X objects, the new structure viewer in BVE will convert standard BVE objects ot X format. You can then ( maybe ) get them to MSTS format

Maybe You Could Possibly Try the RTD Light Rail Route in Denver,<http://www.rtd-denver.com> , Just a thought!

RE: Working on Subway and Trolley Routes

About time we had a New York Subway route or something like it. I'm glad to hear that on the system's 100th birthday, someone is finally making an MSTS route based on the IRT.
