Hello again folks, I'm using the OS DEM stuff available in the bits on UKTS - if I've mentioned NASA that's just me being dim :oops: Regarding gradients and stuff, I'm tempted by two (well, three) options: - Applying to access the NESA data as a software developer (probably a UKTS admin would be bet...

:D The creative talents of the RailWorks community edge ever closer to building my "home" route, the stub of the former Woodhead Route (closed 30 years ago this week) between Hadfield/Glossop and Manchester. I will be following with interest and hope I can be of use helping to gather reference mater...

UPDATE - DAY 1

- Re-aligned decals for better location with terrain
- Started laying track, starting from RSH
- Started to paint terrain
- Started to place significant objects (bridges etc.)

Dave I would also start with the gradients, then bring the terrain up around the track. Most of the lines in east Manchester have a ruling gradient of 1-150 or steeper, (Piccadilly starts at 1-376 and rises to 1-176 at Ardwick and is at 1-100 by the time you hit gorton) so some of the inner city ar...

Yes, they wouldn't be much use really along with the fact they are quite large on the file size side. It would just mean a much larger download for the end user. Time to get terrain painting I guess. Yeah - well right now I'm using it more as a paint template - painting over the decals now so all t...

Don't lay track with "snap to terrain" (magnet on the left) enabled, as your route will have the riding characteristics of the Indiana Jones mine ride! Not a good combo with a 142 :wink: The way to do it is to lay the track and form the terrain around it. I wondered why - shame because StT would be...

Hi Darpor,

Understood

They're not of a particularly good resolution anyway

Hi B, Cheers for the reply...and I can see where you're coming from inspiration-wise :P I might even ask about a cab-view video...no harm in poking around to see if I can get in the cab from MAN-RSH and back...probably no but worth a shot I think...if not I'll do my best with my camera and sitting i...

Hi all! Whenever I go into Manchester, I just nip-on the rickety Northern Rail 142 at Fairfield and 10mins and £1.10 later, I'm there (why get the bus?). Having downloaded the wonderful Class 142, I decided that I needed something to use it with. All this has set my sights on creating routes about a...
