Show us your Railroads!

Looks great everyone! It has inspired me!

un1, you should use smooth curves! They look SO much better!

[Joetropian1 1]

My completely unrealistic new overpass area:

It has monorail, el-rail, and rail crossing GLR, a street, and an elevated highway!

how are you making these overpasses/bridges over gaps with concrete on either side of the gap and the game allowing you to place roads/rail below?

[Nardo69 51]

@e-b-e

1. Build an overpass with the NAM puzzle pieces

2. Plop Buddybud"s bridges next tp it (just do a search on the STEX for" Buddybud")

@all

RLS left me some time for a new map. By incident it has some ... uh .. railways ...

Have fun!

[Nardo69 51]

Hmmmm ...

no more enthusiasm for railways anymore?

OK, then I guess after more than 96 hours I might do a duoble post as a bumper then:

Have fun!

I wanna do more but i don't how to get those train stations or depot. any suggestion?

[bluemoose 223]

reQuiem4adream:

search the stex for train, or station or railroad

you should get L O T S of stuff

you will get lost in all the stuff

BTW welcome to simtropolis

Nardo, I love your railways! Soon I will post some of my urban rail network that I've been working on.

Actually, I was going to use this picture for help/troubleshooting, but it does give a preview of my railroad:

The main line is the one going through the sunken station.  Just out of the picture is the bridge into the downtown island/borough.

[reQuiem4adream 4]

@bluemoose:

Thank you. I can't wait to get lost. LOL

[Olympian 1]

These all look really great!

[Nardo69 51]

Remember my last post before my last post here?

Well, after weeks of RLS and hardware trounle I managed to start up the game (and the LE ) for the first time within weeks.

You should be able to see the subtle changes:

Have fun!

Bernhard

PS: Where are all the other railroaders here?

very nice Nardo69

this is a train station in my city

[Devilman 1]

I absolutely love your work Nardo! Thats what I'w been trying to create,a realistic railway... IT'S HARD! 

I wish you would make a large station area, let's say like the Gare Du Nord or smth similar.

[Gregorfp 15]

FLAN, nice pic: could you tell me where did you get those highway tunnels? The one below the rail tracks?

thanks.

[danielcote 9]

I use opies round house and maintenence facilety and I also use fukudas train depot. For mods I use the china rail mod and the slope mod. I also usualy make run off lines that serve as rail yards because they look cool when you're city gets more developed like about 7,000 people or such.

[renerolgeographic 73]

how do you get the power lines over the rail? looks realistic

[renerolgeographic 73]

sorry for double post, how do you have dirt underneath the rail on the tile the rail is on

[Jillybean86 38]

Wow, Nardo, those pictures look great! What buildings are those next to the bridge? (one of them has a faded lingerie picture on it)

I could totally use those!

[Nardo69 51]

Seems to be there are still some ra?lway loving people around here ...

@art128: Nice pic but I would connext the ending track at vanderaap' s station the main track

@Devilman: I once tried but beneath that I wasn't completelz satisfied the whole map is heavily infected w?th the prop pox ... If I find the time, well, plans are there but RLS hits hard ...

@willba_victory: These Powerlines are the SFBT catenaries by Kenworth

You get the dirt under the tracks if the tracks are next to a lot - plopped or grwon doesn't matter. The dirt under the bridge is a little bit of work with the LE and Buddybud's props.

@Jill Jacobs: Boah, now you really got me ...

I am rather sure they are from good ol' Simgoober (most probably from SC4Devotion though) and the one next to the NAM oberpass is most probably one of his restaurants ...

Gotta fire up the game and check this!

Edit: ST seems not to like the link to the lex, so you have to copy and paste it manually into zour browser's address field: https://www.sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=925

wonderfull work everyone

hiya bernard amazing railroads as allways

[art128 4,618]

thanks Brenhard for your advice

[danielcote 9]

When I build a city I usualy flaten out all or most of the map unless it is water then I just terraform around it. Then I use one big strip of avenue thru the center or I just add anouther avenue so it looks like an addition sign. Then you lay down a grid of Roads or one way's so they all look like even boxes. Then I add commercial all along the main avenue, what ever you choose it to be. and then put in more commercial 1 or 2 blocks deep. the rest is residential or parks. now later when you get a town hall you can put it in the middle of a block so clear all the buildings in that one block then put parks infront or around it. Preferably the large or medium plaza. Well thats all folks.

[art128 4,618]

have fun

I'd love to know where I can find the DB/German locomotives, coaches, and multiple units?

[jacqulina 162]

excellent work everyone

[PhilsCafe 8]

Great railroads everyone!

@ Bernhard (Nardo69): Hey, how are you doing? Your details are once again outstanding, my friend. It's just like you've created a model railway on your computer.
