Pak 96.comic overhead powerline project(railroad)

The 96.comic pak still needs a good powerline for the train track, so i decided to keep progress of it in this topic, if anyone has suggestions or idea's then i'd love to hear about it!

The pole is still a bit thick, and the second pole in the background can be ignored.

Should this line be supported by 2 beams or by a single beam? The tramtrack that is used as a base uses 2.

Made quite some progress with the current design today. As you can see i started by numbering everything so its easy to identify a certain part. Most of the straight parts are down now.

current speed limit is 200 KM/H. Although most p****enger carriages and freight trains dont support this speed yet.

Wow! Nice!

But the pylons are to big imho. I think 3 px are enough.

I think so to, i tried to make it look like a H-beam profile, but that doesnt work on the 96 scale.

Now that you mention it, I can see what you wanted, but it did not work. I can see that it is a H profile only after being told and concentrating on comparing different direction views. But in game you will see mostly long straight stretches - with identical pylons.

So,

for H profiles, otherwise

Well, gar kein Problem. Just take up time.

I just wanted to know if the project was fallen asleep. But it wasn't. That's nice.
