[Challenge/Request] Railway map line drawing

23.1k Scratchoza  3.2 years ago

I have no ideas so I am turning to you guys for suggestions lmao

I Request anyone to draw railway routes, all interconnected by junctions, turntables, bridges, etc. that spans a whole island(s) The kind of "drawing" I need are just simple curves and lines, just to indicate where rails should go.

I allow and recommend:

  • multiple lines and routes surrounding and going through the island
  • indication for terrain, elevation, and tunnels (just put some text and/or highlight the sections)
  • location for a roundhouse or sheds
  • Main lines and branch lines
  • possible setups for ttte or rws locations (annotate and highlight some curves like "the tunnel and curve where Sir Handel almost fell off a cliff")

I discourage:

  • very dense and small routes

Basically, I only want some lines and curves all interconnected, like a super simple 2d top view map, I have a lot of abilities so give me intersections, loops, sidings, yards, wyes, stations! gimme your most complex lol

"Winners"/contributors will receive upvotes so If you suddenly get a bunch of upvotes from me on your builds, then that is why

    @Ryn176 It's alright, I'd say it's too simple but I'll probably add some of your stuff to the final (I think I'll make a much simpler first test / beginner model layout style for practicing)

    how's this?
    is it too simple, too small or?
    i've colored some of the junctions just so that you can see much clearly
    also, it's a scalable vector graphic, meaning it doesn't have a resolution and you can zoom in without losing quality. if you want to download it, then right-click and "save page as" or something like that. if you want me to convert it to a .png then let me know.

    @Ryn176 you can decide how the island looks though the shape of the island doesnt really matter much and please don't be disappointed if you dont see your island shape since I'll likely make a terrifying yet hopefully beautiful amalgamation of your plans. 2, Yes, 2-3 tracks mainlines and stuff like yards are encouraged.

    @scratch note I barely know jacksh---about trains but I know a hand few of topography and know how to draw.

    do i get to decide how the island looks like or do i have to populate an already existing island?
    also, one more question. can i have tracks running parallel? i'd love to do some more drif- i mean, doing mainline operations

    @DDVC Oooh awesome! It's more colorful and detailed than I asked for (pls take that as a compliment) and no its not too big :). Thanks for that, I'll see how I might incorporate that with other possible suggestions

    @scratch
    I can do that. If you have a general idea of what the map looks from top-down in terms of shape, then I can help you out.
