whats a good value for changing the angle of the SE to be a little more dramatic. the SR ATSF trackrules seems less tilt.

SE is more subtle than you might think. The HSC route has values you can start with (same as ScaleRail IIRC):

MaxCantAngleDegrees: 4
CurveToAnglePercent: 20

However, the following entries work well for mountainous routes (very tight curves, although I'm still experimenting with values and not really clear how one affects the other):

MaxCantAngleDegrees: 3
CurveToAnglePercent: 30

This keeps tight curves from looking like roller coaster track. I used the above values to match photos and profile data on hand.
Cheers!

Ok Marc, So then I'll leave them as is then. My route really isnt mountainous in the valley anyway. just some subtle elevation changes.
