Hi Roland !Now that must surely be a "First", a working Rack Rails railway ! Makes me feel home sick being reminded of this great Mountain area just south of Vienna !The ALBULA could do with tracks like these in certain steep gradient places ! Take Care, O t t o.

Hi there!I'm pleased that you like our route, rolling stock and tracks You won't have any pleasure laying rack rails on the Albula-Line. The "Viafier Retica" or "Rhätische Bahn (RhB)" does not use any rack rails on its entire network , but we have a 100% compatible metre gauge track set (so if anyone plans to build the whole Glacier-Express Route - head on). All tracks will be included in one of the next tsection.dat versions.Before I forget: It's not really the rack rails that simulate the cogwheel train. They are more or less just an optical trick. Real work is done with the .ENG-files, we just increased the adhesion coefficents. For combined adhesion/cogwheel trains one should abuse the X-Key: Adheasion without sanding, rack railway with sandig (better to delete the corresponding line in the sound control files )Regards, Clemens
