Northern Maine Junction – image 2

LAST EDITED ON Nov-16-02 AT 06:03 PM (EST)

Andrew,

I see the problem! You changed 2 unneccesary lines ("Northern Maine Junction"). Don't do this... I have returned the three files, with modifications to all three. By the way, this is going to be a great map! Can't wait to see it. I'll post it on the server as soon as you get all the mainlines complete.

Thanks,
Jim

Andrew,Thanks for submitting the updated trackwork for Northern Maine Junction. Wow! What a great map and a fine job on your part. People are going to love this!Comments:
1) You should improve your trackwork after it is drawn, by adjusting the position of the line endpoints. Select a line and then use the arrow keys to move the an endpoint. Use the space bar to switch to the other endpoint. Use the a,b,c,or d key to move to the next connected line.2) Try to draw the 3 lines that make up a switch roughly the same length. This gives a much better appearance. Use the technique above to adjust the points.Good work. I'll put some finishing touches on the map and post it soon!Thanks,
Jim
