Is it possible?

Unread postby FourEightFour » Thu Feb 21, 2013 10:32 pm

I am in the early stages of preparation for the construction of a "highly-accurate" route, The Colorado and Southerns' Clear Creek line, from Denver to Silver Plume, a total of about 55 rail miles. The time frame would be 1920-1939. This would require dual-gauge rail between Denver and Golden. I have seen one picture of someone playing with it in railworks, but I am wondering how *practical* it would be. Would dual-gauge switching be possible? Does railworks coding recognize track with more than one gauge?

I have all of the historical plans, documents, locomotive prints on hand, I just do not have the ability to transfer this into railworks (yet).

Currently it is not possible. What you were seeing was someone laying standard and narrow gauge rail on top of each other (looks fine until you hit a turnout).
