Introduction

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.:steamhappy::chirp::cozyrealmroyale: 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.

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.

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

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.
