Railworks America

OK so I have this feature to dump from hoppers into trucks. Anybody know of what I can use to support these rails over the dump area?

What about a "Lime unloader" or coal unloader (basically the same)? It might need stretching but that's easy enough.

What about a wooden trestle? I've seen coal unloaded with those.

Do you have a prototype photo of this industry. If so I will show you had to build something using the assets you had listed for the route.

Here you go.

I was able to come up with something using the HIS Hanover assets as per the attached.



1. I started off by leveling the loading area below the track.
2. I quickly measured the length of this structure in Google Earth which is about 10m and changed the actual structure track to bridge ties.
3. I then used the offset tool set at 0.01 and added a 10m HNV RR Bridge Girder from the bridge section using linear object mode which will support the track. Moving it vertically till it was snug with the underside of the ties.



4. I then used the offset tool set at 0.01 and added a 10m HNV Bridge Walkway 2 sides section using linear object mode. I adjusted the height down so it sat snug on top of the tracks.



5. I then placed HNV Bridge Abut 3 Embank on opposites ends of the bridge structure.



6. I then proceeded to build the retaining wall using more HNV Bridge Abut 3 Embank sections which matched the rough dimensions I measured from Google Earth

7. I then re-leveled the terrain to ground level around the track and graded the road down to the loading area.
8. I placed bush around the perimeter of the retaining wall sections to hide terrain issues. Embankment assets from the other assets you are using for the route could be used.
