Easyscor has a rail yard in his Combat Map, but I don't think it's tile. I could be wrong, but I don't recall seeing Train Tracks as an object. :airplane:

Tiles? No exclusive railyards as far as I know.
I did install two copies of the switching yards from the AVAeto citi0 tile into the Combat's tanktown tile. After two years I finally figured out how to make both trains work properly and updated the terrain to have the trains run through the town stations. It's pretty neat if I do say so.


Now then, if you're up for building a new railyard tile, you can find all the track pieces you need here on the boards. Give me a shout if you need help with the excel file to create custom length straight track segments. You will definitely need those unless you build a dead flat tile, which I recommend because of the workload for anything else.

I guess this, the 'Toys' post, and my TE manual should get stickied someday.

Would be cool to have a rail yard, but are supply trains running on any map?  I have not seen one in a long time.  Convoys either?

See them mostly near the Strat, but I’ve seen a few towards the base here and there can’t remember the map.

I watched all of the strap vehicle suppliers were dynamic to the game again.

Next time you talk to him, remind him about the trains-shoot-friendlies issue.  Might be a problem for your setup.

That's really strange. In offline and custom Arena testing, I haven't experiences that issue yet.
