I love your tracks and I use them for my recreation of Düsseldorf. I just need to find 1000mm und 1435mm combination for Krefeld xD

@(GER)SimuGames2003 there is a pack for 1067 mm. In NIMBY scale, 29.3 mm is one pixel, so 67 mm difference is essentially 2 pixel difference. Thus not currently planning to do 1000 mm separately.

Is a Pack for 1000mm planned? This would be great!

Ah, okay. The problems you encountered are unfortunate to hear about, but glad to hear you figured out a solution. I am confident that the replication to 1435mm won't be too hard.

Yes. It was almost ready and I then ran into an issue with the tunnel graphics. My tunnels were built to a train width 2.6m (subway) but I realized ground heavy rail typically goes up to 3.0 m and can also go all the way up to 3.5 m. So this required tunnel redesign. The other problem was visibillity of track in the tunnel against dark background, it was not great at mid-distance and too much black when seen from very high above. So I decided to try to come up first with 1067 mm and sort out these issues there. I will replicate the solutions from there to 1435 mm.

Will you be doing a similar pack for 1435mm "heavy" rail like you have for 1067mm and 1520mm?

You only find it with Concrete nowadays, Asphelt is to soft so the tires running over the exact same bit every time a tram passes over will cause big grooves, there are places where trams/guided busses ran on concrete with a central guide rail in the past tho

@RangerRenze I will try to. If I understand Translohr requires a hard surface ie asphalt to have the rubber tires run on?

Hello! been playing around with these in my Paris rebuild and they're amazing
Just asking to see if it would be possible to get some Translohr tracks, they're just simple concrete tracks with only a single rail in the middle
