Gen Von Television Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Is there any way or trick of trade to make it without having to cut through the railway lines? Either that or cutting the road, but then it wouldn't be right for vehicles, though it may look a little better than having the railway embankment sudden drop... Any help here?

The Teacher Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I place gravel under the rail lines. Then at road crossings of the rail lines I place cobblestones. It looks effective to me, but thats the best way I found. Others have their own methods, so I would suggest playing around with it until your happy or you get frustrated and delete the Railway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undercovergeek Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I like the idea of that teacher..... Sounds like a good work around It never occurred to me until I ran into the problem on the carentan map so I built a bridge over the railway!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Von Television Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks for the tip The Teacher, I will check that out; usually I place Dirty squares below the roads of any type since I find it's logical that the road area would be dusty and barren, and it creates a nice effect for variety and transitions; in fact I adopt the dirty also around the houses and on courtyard where the passage seems to be more frequent. I will check the gravel base with the cobblestones in the intersections; besides in reality the railway I reproduce was a very small one (about just 1.5 m large) that run beside the road, with quite a few crossings... I also noticed there are empty options for the railway segments: they should place back the crossing one, eventually fixed with cobblestones, but that at least will keep the level of the rails and allow the road to run on smoothly... Undercovergeek I quite appreciate your efforts on the Carentan map: excellent work! As I said this represents a very small railway line that cannot run on bridges but sits just beside a dusty small road... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Von Television Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Just thinking about it: do you mean you'll keep the railway going across the road and just place a cobblestone tile underneath it? What is happening to tanks and vehicles when they move across that railway tile? Will they still be able to cross? Should they go very slow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
