ehbk2006's traffic BAT projects

[ehbk2006]

Yes, that's better. But it fails the dirt

For now there won't be any dirt, just nice and clean. Maybe in the future, when I master the skills of proper texturing. (The recent models are only colored in GSU, execept the Railion Logo)

Any idea's what to do with them expect releasing them as a prop pack?

[ehbk2006]

Here's a preview of the ICM Koploper and some GVB Amsterdam Trapwagens (Type 11G and 12G) as a prop:

Looks great ehkb2006!

[ehbk2006]

First two items of the Swiss track objects pack: 


I will also create a version with only pre-signals and only block signals, with those versions the baskets will be smaller.



Any more requests for items which need to be in the Swiss Track Objects Pack? Post them here.

Thats great. However do you know if the game's angle is going to allow the lights to be visible?

Here's a screen from the LE. The colors of signals are only visible in the highest zoom level, but you will hardly notice it. Though this makes the signal bridge usable in every situation, without making a version for every signal aspect combination.





Below are 2 versions; one in original dimensions and one multiplied times 1,25:


Note: The colors will be modified.

Which do you prefer?
(This is very important because everything in the set will have this scale.)

I think the 1x scale looks better, but it almost seems too short to allow trains to pass underneath. If trains can fit, then I'd say go with the 1x.

[j-dub]

The small one looks too tight. The bigger one you an actually see the details better. I think the bigger one scales better. Maybe there should be more of a vote on this.

[Swamper77]

I'd suggest using the 1x scale model, but just make it slightly taller so there is more clearance between the trains and the bottoms of the signal bays.

[ehbk2006]

I'm going to make a compromise, how about scale 1,13?

[threestooges]

That works. I haven't seen signals like that before around here, so I don't have much to compare it to, but it looks good from what I have seen so far.

Can we see this signal with a train?

Sure:

thank's

My opinion is you conserve the x1 version, but streched to x1.25 proportion.


I hope that you understood me

Nice work on the signals! But was the train you released last week a prop or a skin? I downloaded it and it id'nt appear anywhere

I get it, but I'm not going to destroy the proportions, that way it will lose its magic.  Therefore I will only zoom it.

They are props, you can find them in the Lot Editor. Making them drivable is planned, but atm. I miss the knowledge about it.

[j-dub]

Oh, no! I can tell with a 28 inch hd screen that the signal comes down too far, and hits the train.

Well, in real life the space is also really tight between the pantograph and the signal baskets.
Example of a signal bridge with long baskets:

Here you can see how much clearance the trains will have when passing under the bridge:

Here's a version with the shorter baskets, this one is only carrying pre-signals.

[ehbk2006]

A little spin off from the Swiss Track Objects Pack. Some special Dutch gantry for the High Speed Line South and the Betuweroute.

It's the little details on these things that are always so impressive. I haven't seen these in RL to make an accurate comparison, but I like what I see all the same. I know it would be a lot of work, but if there's a way to get these t21'd into a catenary mod, it'd be pretty darn neat.
