Very nice Indiana Joe  :thumbsup: .

Lack of Railyards and other RRW lots are probably the main problem for users uptaking the RRW so it is good that you have been able to make a railyard. Can't wait for seaports!

Keep it up

Maybe it's not as exciting as 3D stuff, but here's what I've been working on this week.

Doing something similar with Willy's original textures shouldn't be a problem.



Stunning & mind boggling!!!  &apls

Awesome progress!  Any word on those bridges you were working on earlier eggman?

Even more ooooh's and aaaahhhhh's!
This thread is becoming very repetitive: you show us an image, we all go ooohhh and aaaahhhh!

But because we all like a moment of awe once in a while I'd say: at all means continue!  ()flower()

Apologies for my absence, dear friends. I've been dividing up my time between music and a girl ;D

Fantastic Matt! &apls  That looks exactly like I had it in mind back in the day. I've nicked someone's outdated graphics card to put in my old machine so I hope I can finally retrieve all the stuff on there! Hang on. . .

For the record, I also wish to state for everyone that my textures or anything else I made is free to use and adapt as per the good old modding community standards. :)

Not sure when I'll get back to this, so don't hold your breath; but then, it looks like rail modding is in good hands :thumbsup:


Cheers

For a reason like that we don't need an apology!  :D

Welcome back Willy. It is always good to see you drop in every now and than. Hope all is going well!

Hello Simcoug

Here are the bridges that I have made so far side by side:



I have some more to come. The reason why I have not been showing bridges is because it can be quite hard to make a bridge and some of the bridges still have some errors. But stay tuned since I will be making some longer span bridges!

Take your time with the files, I have plenty to work on.

3 tracks per tile

Track center spacing in those textures is 4 meters, which is pretty much the lower limit of standard spacing.  3 tracks is awkward to transition into from dual-track rail, but I might make multiple widths.  It varies of course; depending on what purposes the yard serves and what kinds of cars and equipment are being used.

Will this be replacing the existing ncd textures? If so, awesome, we have instant RRW-compatible rail yards now!

That's a negative.  NCD made a butt load of textures that I don't want to re-create.  The change in track spacing and curve radius would mess it up too.  I am creating an entirely new pack of modular lots, which will support multiple RRW texture packs.


EDIT: keep going on those bridges Stephen!

To be honest, it wouldn't make a difference if spacing was revised, as they're cosmetic pieces. I'm assuming you're doing a new complete set that will pretty much cover 99% of all possibilities currently available with NCD's textures?

Could not help myself :D



Finally Wires have come to STR or RRW 1. Don't know if that is the new nomenclature yet but I guess only time will tell.

You are beyond every kind of help we could offer.  :D

Awe again!  &apls and  :thumbsup:

I love the progress. That STR Wye worries me a little, a real train would wipe those posts out of existence. They're too close. Two seperate posts in the center with lengthened arms may work better..

The rail bridges you've made look fabulous! I love that through-truss bridge, but I'd make it look more rusty because pretty much every rail bridge I've seen in RL looks old and rusty since they were built over fifty years ago. I'd also love to see an STR version of that truss bridge; that would look neat!

One suggestion I'd have is to have thicker pylons on some of your bridges to make them look more stout. Currently, they just look way too flimsy and thin right now.

Keep up the great work on the bridges and catenaries.

Woooaahhh!!!!!!!

There, a single exclamation to sum it all up!  :D

Those posts on the y split are really close to the tracks indeed. Stellar job with the bridges though!  :thumbsup:
