Sep-02-01, 01:55 PM (EST) "Channel Tunnel in Development" I am about 40% finished on the channel tunnel line from London to Paris. I am having a little trouble with tunnels as you can see in the picture. Can anyone help me with this? I might start the whole project again because the tunnels are too close together and the track is too short.

Sep-04-01, 04:58 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Channel Tunnel in Development" Is it possible to change the default black wall in the tunnel and possibly the tunnel itself? ? The Channel Tunnel is built of blank concrete and it is a complete round tunnelPeterhttp://trainsearch.htmlplanet.com Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Sep-04-01, 08:21 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Channel Tunnel in Development" I do know that you don't have to use that big block that I used for my tutor,
just look though the other routes & find a tunnel entrence you like or make your own.I got the block that i used for the tutor from one of the Japanese routes. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Sep-03-01, 02:51 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Channel Tunnel in Development" It is nearly finished now. I scraped the terrain tunnel idea and just put 'walls with holes' in front on them.

Sep-05-01, 01:27 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Channel Tunnel in Development" I put trees their to look as though there was something to surround the tunnel. It looked a bit bare. The Asylum seekers will be on the second version. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Oct-15-01, 01:55 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Channel Tunnel in Development - Progress ScreenShot" This is the route my version will cover. It will Go from London, through the tunnel to Lille, Then the track will split, in one direction to Paris, The Other to Bruxelles. Also, does any one know the names os Lille and Bruxelles stations. I've only got gare du Nord and Waterloo International. At the moment, I'm not going to do the Rail-Link. Also, an apology. Due to me being new in Route Editor, the track is a straight line, but there is scenery to go with is. When I learn more, I will do the proper layout of the track WITH corners. Thanks for your understanding.

Nov-11-01, 03:33 AM (EST) 25. "CANCELLED?!!" I have cancelled the Channel Tunnel due to one of the BETA testers saying it was rubbish. I will probably start a new one when I have more experience in the Route Editor Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Nov-15-01, 02:49 PM (EST) 26. "RE: CANCELLED?!!" I'm not sure that I'd abandon my efforts based on the opinion of one Beta-tester. Especially if you started this route to learn from it.I have no experience with the route editor so this is just an opinion, but I'd keep playing with it, learning, and adding as I go. I think that's the way a lot of the route builders in the forum started out. I imagine that the experience is just like building a model railroad layout. I did some work some years ago that I was very proud of at the time. Now as I learned more and better modeling techniques, I found that early work lacking in many ways. However, I did benefit tremendously from the learning experience.Just my two cents worth.Henry Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
