Can you have a route with tiles that are not geographically connected. I am working on The PRR Delmarva Division, and the Cape Charles yard located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is seperated by a long barge trip across the Chesapeake bay that ends at the Little Creek yard on the mainland of Virginia. I don't want to have to create tiles in the middle of the bay that nobody will ever see.
Tack laying is going well and I am making steady progress. I hope to have screen shots to share within a couple of weeks. Thanks again to all that have helped so far! I have not fallen off the face of the earth but have been stuck in a learning curve somewhere on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.Tom MoyersLivercup2@comcast.net

RE: route tile question

If you are going to have two isolated chunks of track, with many tiles between them, you may never get a successful TDB rebuild. You might need a subterranean track between your starting tile and a tile with track of the other chunk.David Beach.Palouse & LewistonRoute tile question – image 1Route Building 1% Completed
