I don't use scale rail. What I do use a lot is M-tracks because the turnouts are accurate for
US routes. And you run into some oddities. For example, I have completed the main stem
mainline and...

I use dynamic track only as much as is absolutely not avoidable. And the comment about the local tsection.dat file is correct, but
I never have merged two routes. What I have done, is used a route...

I haven't got the route (yet) but this idea of "historical significance" is a good one. There are a
number of lines that fit the category. For example, in my own bucket list is the Camas Prairie...

I believe this topic has been kicked around over the years but in laying track for
the L&N Main Stem (CSX calls it the Main Line Sub.) I realized that one feature
of this line, especially between...

Friends,

Originally there were four branches and one mainline off the mainstem. The Bardstown
branch departed the mainline about mile 22 and extended east for several miles with the
main town...

Those are nice, but what I have in mind is passenger equipment. One would also need PRR passenger
equipment including the square end observation cars of the type used on the Broadway Ltd. As far...

As for the Biloxi station mentioned in the previous thread, it existed the last time I was
through there on the Sunset Ltd., August 2005. It was damaged by Katrina but I
believe it was repaired....

Colleagues,

I started on this line a week ago and have made passable progress having
put Louisville at the North End and Nashville at the south end - those two
"routes" are in the unfinished...

The L&N Corbin-Knoxville line is in the library as of a month or so ago and I am now
working on the Louisville-Nashville Line. In parallel, I am also working on the C&O
(or CSX) Big Sandy south,...

I don't find high enough resolution with .hgt data, so I will continue to use the USGS
data and DEMEX as long as I can. Soon be going to Win-10 from Win-7 though and that
might seal my fate.
...

Colleagues,

Any of you that have downloaded the Louisville Terminal should discard it and
download a version 2 which I just uploaded an hour or so ago. I guess it will
appear on Monday.

The...

It has been a couple of weeks since I obtained any data from USGS but then it worked fine.
Having said that, the downloaded files (I use the 1/3 arc-sec data) generally won't work
with DEMEX unless...

I had to do one other thing. Put a sound source on the new start tile, otherwise the rebuild crashed
almost before it got started. Then there were a few of the usual end-end errors and this time I...

Colleagues,

I am starting a new route, so there is a work-around for the issue I will describe.

I created the framework for the new route, and generated terrain. Now, I want to
add two...

Title should be Louisville Terminal area, my Bad

Name of Route: NASHVILLE TERMINAL

Version and Release Date: 1, 1-28-21

Name of Route: Louisville Terminal

Version and Release Date: 1 1-28-21

Description: Most L&N routes in/out of Louisville are included, as well as
the Paducah &...

Colleagues,

In the Nashville Terminal area there are two large bridges over the Cumberland R.
that were originally L&N, now CSX, bridges.

A third was owned by the Tennessee Central, currently...

The Tennessee Central was owned by the Southern & the Illinois Central in the early 20th century.
The Illinois Central shared the small yard along the river with the Southern and that is why the...

I Decided that "tracks only" would not be sufficient so I am working on the Nashville
Terminal and are adding all roads that intersect tracks by whatever method. Since
Nashville is on several...

Travis just uploaded this signal set based on the 1989 Seaboard System rules.

I retired from CSX in 2001, having worked for Chessie System/CSX since the
fall of 1980. CSX adopted the Seaboard...

Thanks Paul. I found what I needed after further study. hwy3l2wlst40m_left, or ------ right will do it.
These two shapes are sorta like a flat cone with 3 lanes on one end and 2 lanes on the...

Colleagues,

Is there a road section to transition from 3 lanes to two lanes? The situation
is that I am filling in the roads for the Nashville, TN terminal area of the L&N
(CSX). 4th Ave. S....

Cade,

If you find reliable DEMs that will work with DEMEX or whatever your extraction tool is,
then my recommendation is to fill a DVD or two with all the DEMs you think you will
ever need. ...

Colleagues,

I have completed sufficient lines in Louisville, with the L&N Strawberry (or Osbourne-CSX) yard
and a facility in west Louisville on the Paducah & Louisville that services a large...
