I don't know if that's maybe a bit too specific to find a tutorial, I don't recall one.

When dealing with large slopes and making transit networks traverse them, good examples can often be found in the real world. The way roads snake around the outside of large elevation changes or for even more extremes, use a system of switchbacks or 180° bends, strung together to tackle large changes in height on one face of the mountain. Here is one such example, a perfect usage scenario for the ARD-3 network from NAM:

It's also important, if you want the slopes to look good, to use some sort of Slope Mod, I've a tutorial to detail how to use them here.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

New to the NAM? Check out my tutorials on YouTube. Latest upload: How to: RHW - MHO Roundabout Interchanges. (Nov 25).
