Description

Cologne, Germany

The Hohenzollern Bridge (German: Hohenzollernbrücke) is a bridge crossing the river Rhine in the German city of Cologne (German: Köln). It crosses the Rhine at kilometre 688.5. Originally, the bridge was both a railway and road bridge. However, after its destruction in 1945 and its subsequent reconstruction, it was only accessible to rail and pedestrian traffic.

It is the most heavily used railway bridge in Germany with more than 1,200 trains daily, connecting the Köln Hauptbahnhof and Köln Messe/Deutz stations.

Contains basic ground track, elevated 'small arch' and bridge 'large arch' segments. It is 'one' network, thus it can be stacked side by side like in Cologne or used as single bridge.

This mini-project was a result of collaboration with VecchioChristo, who made an incredible job on meshes and texturing. I networked his work, optimized on certain places and tweaked textures.

How to re-create Cologne Approach

Start with drawing elevated segment: ideal lenght: 13-16units
Switch to bridge tool and draw the bridge, ideal lenght: 16-30 units
End with the elevated segment.
Use 'Align Height' tool to align any tracks or pillars.
Do the same for walkway on sides.

Railway and Network Skins 2

You can use both or either of the mods to use the bridge. With Railway catenary selection is global, whereas catenary style can be customized per segment with Network Skins 2.

How do you build this bridge side by side without losing the pillars?

as i said previously, catenaries are part of railway mod function. you will need the mod and a catenary set of your preference from mod collection, then use the mod and enable said catenaries in game

Hey REVO, sorry for another dumb question. I think I might be missing an obvious point here, but the networks work without any issues in-game, with one exception: they spawn wires but don't spawn the supports for the wires.
Are those assets a separate download, or do I really need to use one of the mods to reskin the entire network?

Vasco Da Llama Oct 23, 2022 @ 1:04pm

Cool thanks for the quick reply! :D
Can't wait to try some of these out

REV0 [author] Oct 23, 2022 @ 6:10am

it's part of a collection of networks and track styles. if you dont sub those, network will still work, just like any other normal network you might have some glitches if you use with non-railway networks or not have any catenaries.

Vasco Da Llama Oct 23, 2022 @ 5:20am

Excuse the dumb question, but is this a type of network, like the ones in the Bridge & Piers pack? In other words, can I select it from a menu and draw it and it will work? Or are one of the other mods *required* to make the visuals work by re-skinning the railway lines?
