The Snake Path

[BDWorkshop]

I can't help when it comes to models.. never learned how to make anything except routes, and everything I learned was trial and error, since the game was so new back then, there weren't any tutorials. But, I can give advice if ever needed. Lookin forward to the route! Got a LV steam loco and trainset that would look great with it!

Wow... where can I find LV Steam? I haven't seen that yet.

Last night I reached the Wyalusing area with my main line track work. Very soon I'll be moving into the home stretch.

I also found out that using Google Earth for track elevation isn't always 100% accurate. In the Wyalusing area it shows a dramatic change in track elevation. The track shown in GE drops off about 10 meters then dramatically goes back up...this can't be right. I ended up using my best judgment for the track height.

Yeah, sometimes if the roadbed is in a cutting, or on an embankment the GE data can be a little off. Try moving the path point a bit, that sometimes helps. After laying as much of the line as you have, your judgement is prolly the best call Keep up the good work!

I'm slowly getting there! I've finally reached the bridge at Towanda. It looks like I'll have a fun time when it comes to building this bridge.

I think I'll take a small break with the route building and play some Civ 5 for the next day or two before I hit it again. I'm now definitely in the home stretch now. I believe there is less then 10 miles left between Towanda and Sayre.

Well I'm back, coming off of a short stint with TANE. It was a waste of time. Even with TANE's better performance, Railworks still is more complete of a program. More importantly, I'm tired of dealing with the Trainz Forums. Time to move on...

I'm working on a new idea that partially involves this Snake Path Route. More info in the near future.
