Had a strange day yesterday and reloaded Bahn and found the above route. In the program its a straight 13KM, 5 Station German narrow gauge.So I thought I could at least see if I could get all the track and platforms in and I succeded, I used 2 different track types for the main and Narrow but at the moment they do look the same gauge and of course is not smoothed.The line has 4 Trains a day 3 Pass and 1 Mixed. Just for yuor intrest the Mixed leaves at 8:55 ans irs return trip is 10:00 just to give you an idear on times.Well it was a little fun and I've proved that a can do more complex track arragments.Anyone intrested please write.Tom
Here we go, Used the Geman mainline tracks and the Japan rails with German type Ballest for the Narrow Gauge.The good news is Jan at www.bahnverwalter.de is going to scan and sent me much info he has got as well as all his photo's, looks like a nice and full email box for me.Don't worry Midhants is going top continue as well, just waiting the information for it and thought I would try this while I was waiting. Send me your comments, Thanks in advanceTom
If you need narrow gauge rail elements, you can use Curve10 Excel utility: it can easily build smooth curved rail objects with customizable: - Radius and orientation of the curve (left curves have negative radii - for straight rails use 99999 as radius). - Gauge of the track - Height of the rail - Width of head of the rail - Lenght of sleepers - Total width of the ballast - Filename for ballast BMP texture - Color of rail's surface - Color of rail's web - Color of side rail's surface - Distance from the center of the track and position of the pole - Filename for trellis pole's BMP texture - Filename for catenary's anchorage - Orientation for catenary's anchorageHave a look here: http://web.tiscali.it/lcartello/utilities.html#curve10en(sorry for my bad English)Luigi Cartello http://web.tiscali.it/lcartello/
Thnaks Lugi,Don't woory about the english, you get your point across ok.Actually the line is rather straight and hilly, this the the reason for narrow gauge, it will be handy for the curves at the points, which is the best utility for making narrow gauge points.and just for intrest, is what I tried look ok or not.Thanks in advanceTom
Hi there...All the pointwork, platforms and some other buildings including a couple of gods vans off track done.Have put in the grades, and put in the curves roughly so far, so I can atleast get an Idear how it should look, still got some problems.This is becomming a combined efford of Lugi and myself, Lugi supplying the know how and has helped to work out the grades and curves, and having a look at what i have done and myself on the keyboard.So If I forget later, a big public thank you to Lugi.Any idears for these buildings?A 2 stall engine shed viewed from the rear suitable for the area. A 2 line Goods Transfur shed goods between Narrow and Standard Gauge. (Both lines go through, so Probly sides annd roof only needed.) A 1 Stall engine shed viewed from the front. Tom
>Any idears for these buildings? > >A 2 stall engine shed viewed from the rear suitable for the >area. >A 2 line Goods Transfur shed goods between Narrow and >Standard Gauge. Look at the Gonou line(From Ajigasawa to Kawabe) Do not remember where I got it, but there is a nice two stall shed at the start of the Route. If you can get permission, it looks like it would only need an inner wall to be a pass through building.
A bit of constructive criticism on the right hand track. perhaps you could adjust the tiling factor on the ballast (i.e increase it) so it doesn't appear too stretched, otherwise, looking good!
