All railway with catenary

Absolutely gorgeous Andreas! I can't wait as I have an obsession with both the SFBT catenaries and smooth rail curves.

I've done the Rail_Catenaries_Mod (and cantanery above BTM) HD version

Thanks ehbk2006's make the HD cantanery props especially

Looking amazing as ever! This could very well become the next version of the BTM! I'm loving all the pics!

Jonathan · May 14, 2009, 10:28:30 AM

There is a picture of the HD version?

I'm not seeing one, and I'd love to

and I have to say, it looks sweet

These look really great. It's little things like this that make the game more realistic.

In the UK, it's rare to fine centenaries on general rail (in fact I have never seen it), but I have seen it on things such as the CTRL (Channel Tunnel Rail Link) and the Tramlink services, so at least for me, I would really like to see GLR, T-RAM, and HSR have catenaries

.

Below are some examples of british catenaries that I have taken on my travels:

Croydon Tramlink

CTRL

Yeah I would also want to have such things on tram/glr/hsr lines!

MandelSoft · May 15, 2009, 03:37:39 AM

I always want to have tram catenaries on my GLR. There's no GLR track in the Netherlands without rail catenaries.

Well If you want to code them plunderer. I can deliver you some fine (european) GLR cateneries.

Certainly!

Actually I just thinking that tell you about GLR cateneries

ehbk2006 · May 15, 2009, 10:25:45 AM

Cool

Something like this?

czkimi · May 15, 2009, 10:33:41 AM

hoho
Prety rail

choco · May 15, 2009, 10:34:42 AM

lovely!

io_bg · May 15, 2009, 10:45:15 AM

Looks great but I think the "main support" should be higher because it looks like the catenery is going to collapse.

Jonathan · May 15, 2009, 10:52:21 AM

Right I see, maybe this topic could get stickied that way the pictures are at the top of each page?
Much better than the SD ones!

I used to live near Croydon and can just remember the Tramlink being built. I used to love going on it to 'nowhere' when I was about 5.

True true, how about this?

I shall add a light to it for night textures and maybe someone can attach a light cone effect to it that would be great.

Great looking development here guys. I like the idea of these catenaries a lot, because it makes the GLR so much more realistic

This one is much better!

Thanks.

Another common style used in Europe (Rotterdam for example):

Also possible in other versions (2 outside or 2 inside cable holders) or in single version for the turning loop or single track.

this one is better
