North American Bridge User Guide

Guide for the NAB TpF2 Workshop mod.

Overview

This idea came a few months ago when I was tired of not having relatable bridge infrastructure for North American users.

This addresses a lot of needed assets, tracks, and bridges.

In here, I'll show you how to use the mod.

There are assets, all under the "NAB" category.


There are also matching tracks for the bridge.

Enjoy!

Round Plate Girders

There are 7 different types of the "Round Plate Girder" bridge.

Note: Plate girder bridges are impossible to currently make prototypically with straight beams, so for now they are curved.

• No plates (for use with asset versions)
  
• Brown
  
• Black
  
• Silver
  
• Gray
  
• White
  
• Rusted

Catenary posts need to be placed manually for any tracks less than 3 tracks wide. It's a game limitation for posts on both sides of the track, this was my solution.

There is a matching track for all Round Girder plate bridges, it contains thicker sleepers and a check rail, as well as catenary specific for the bridge. Anything related to the round plate girder type will have the associated image.

Deck Plate Girder

This was another bridge I decided to add, something similar to what was used near the west coast.

There are 8 bridges to choose from.

• Gray
  
• Brown
  
• Green
  
• Black
  
• Rusted
  
• White
  
• Silver
  
• No plate (for use with asset plates)

There specific crossbeam posts to match the height and depth of these bridges. Check the asset menu.

These have matching tracks, which have the same features as Round Plates, only differing in catenary style.

Anything related to deck plate girder bridges will have this matching image:

Low Plate Girder

This bridge style doesn't have a matching track or pillar styles. Just a basic bridge without any railing.

There are 8 bridges:

• Gray
  
• Dark Brown
  
• Light Brown
  
• Silver
  
• Rusted
  
• Black
  
• Green
  
• White

There are no matching assets for this bridge style either.

Assets

There are many assets for this mod. All have unique settings and option menus, be sure to check them out!

Almost all have the option to rotate, scale and offset the location of them from the track. Some have different textures while others have completely different models (namely the crossbeams) for the number of tracks they support.

Currently, there are:

• Check rail joiners
  
• Abutments
  
• Round Plate Crossbeam pillars
  
• Deck Plate Crossbeam Pillars
  
• Art Deco pillars
  
• Concrete pillars
  
• Round Plate catenary options
  
• Deck Plate catenary options
  
• Named Deck Girder plates
  
• Named Round Girder plates

Ok thanks

to the right of the screen when you place the item. sounds like you just bought the game, check out the game wiki on the UI, might help you a tad.

[themeatballhero]

theyre in the asset section under NAB. look in the UI menu for the options

How do I place the pillars

[themeatballhero]

you can have that installed, but it doesnt use the abutment script. ie: that mod does nothing for NAB
