Hi all, How do I enable Third Rail on to my route? I've ticked all boxes that I can see and from what I recall, it should lay automatically lay but it's not. Do I need a route that has this track Ribbon Loft Descript and Track Rule? This all I have in my list of assets RE: tracks; There is no electrification selected - not sure where I need to go to change this. Thank you
Yes, you need a track capable of displaying a third rail. The UKCP_Track_FB-Welded from your list supports a top contact third rail, for example. The track rule does not matter for this. I can see from your "Edit Ranges" screeshot that you did not properly select the track. You need to place a selection starting point and end point on the bit of track you want to edit and all those property segments will have properties displayed on them (if you did select and nothing came up, select again, this happens sometimes). One you selected, take a look at "Electrification" properties. You can enable third rail at the top. You will also have to set the third rail side (a few options down) for it to be displayed correctly.
On a related note, it seems a pity there isn't a third-rail Track descriptor / Track rule that's part of the default content, and not part of someone else's DLC... or am I missing something?
nevermind, it looks like the ribbon loft descriptor from the Training Centre (sorry for the spelling, I'm Canadian) has a third rail. That, at least, is part of the core game. I just hope DTG don't mind us using that one.
