It is possible. The catenary model is defined with the track, so there is no simple way to replace vanilla catenary model with this one unless you modify the track definition file that you wish to replace the catenary model.

is it possible to replace the vanilla catenarys with these?

Also as you seem like good creator a tunnel with a overhead conductor rails could also be something that is missing here. It's essentially a metal rail as the catenary isntead of wires.

OOHOHOHOHOOHOHOH. Thank you very much, this gets me very exited. Also a very important thing, if you are making the tunnels make sure that the tunnels are centered. Majuens single tracked tunnel are offset to one side, it's maybe for the catanery poles but I dont think they spawn when you are building underground and that is the reason why I am not using it. Also make it in 1,2 and possibly 3 and 4 tracked wide tunnels because I am building a base tunnel where there will be a underground switch so it would look very good if the tunnel opens into a big Cavern? where the tracks can merge. A picture to explain what I mean is: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gotthard_Base_Tunnel#/media/File:20141120_gotthard-basistunnel05-wiki.jpg but the tunnel directly widens to a constant width as to allow for trap switch.

@Elje0ett

I was wrong, just found out why I thought it's impossible and I'm working on a tunnel right now.

Any way possible is ok. I have many things that cause a headache but a round tunnel is going to cure the headache once I have a beautiful tunnel to look at. As I've said the best way would be using a track that has a offset model that is the tunnel wall I believive. I have asked in the TpF discord sever where there are very knowladgeable people which maybe know a differnent way.

@Elje0ett

An update on the tunnel stuff. It seems the game has a fixed width and height for the tunnel, which explains why the other tunnel mod has this oval shape rather than a round shape.

I have some ideas about an alternative way to achieve it but it’s not gonna be user-friendly.

好美！

I think a network based one like majuen's rundtunnel ohne gleiswand is the best option. A asset bassed one wouldn't work very good as would only work on a straight and not sloped tunnel. I think you could get some good help in the transoport fever discord sever

@Elje0ett
Well it all depends on how the tunnel functions in the game, and it’s definitely something I’m planning to make, as well as the tunnel entrance.

Ok. Well majuen I think he's called did a round tunnel mod. He used a invisible track that you build alongside the tunnel you want. The real tunnel with the track has got a invisbile tunnel wall and. The track alongside which is invisbile has got the tunnel wall. And with catenary I also think that it's impossible to make them automatic and the only way is via hand placing assets. Also tunnel portals would be nice as there are a lack of modern ones. Also there is like no big tunnel portal, the ones big enough to stop a sonic boom from a high speed train.

@Elje0ett Tunnel is something on my mind for a while, as well as catenary mast for tunnels(which I'm planning to do next, but it's a little tricky since TF2 doesn't create catenary mast with tracks, so it has to be placed by hand).

So far I didn't find a way to change tunnel models for different numbers of parallel tracks, which means they all use the same tunnel model and the game would stretch the model to fit the tracks, but I could be wrong since I'm new to TF2 modding.

The best approach that I can think of, is to create an invisible track with the tunnel model with different width(e.g., single track, 2 tracks, etc), just like the one on the workshop, and use parallel mod to build it next to the track in the tunnel.

As of the style of the tunnel or mast/gantry, it doesn't really matter for me since I did this mod solely based on photos instead of my knowledge to the rail system, which I have none(not even Chinese rail system).

No no, I don't want you to make any european stuff as you are more of chiense person than a european person. But I wouldn't mind. Only problem is that there are so many european catenaries already. But one thing that does lack is tunnels, if you make something that looks asain and eropean at the same time it wouldn't be really that bad as there are a lack of european tunnels. Also a better round tunnel than the one already on the workshop would be nice. I am thinking of a round tunnel that is actually round like a circle and not a oval like the one we have. Also the one we have right now is bad because the tunnel walls aren't centered so it looks very wierd and thus I have never used it.

谢谢各位的支持

@Elje0ett I created this mod for my own enjoyment and there’s still some work needs to be done for this one. So there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to make a European style anytime soon. But, if all goes well and there’s no other alternatives in the workshop, I might consider that.

This is some good work. I would use these but only problem is that I am doing a european build and not a chinese one.
