Would love if the Third Rail was repurposed as a Snowball Fences variant. It would be very versatile to just apply third rail to any tracks that we have at our disposal.

Can I use your third rail models?

Hi "Agohonoh",

Love the app, have redirected all my tracks for inside appearance, i. e. between dual tracks for people's protection, not outside, but cannot fix the stations - in the stations it is putting half the 3rd rail on the left and half on the right for each leght of 40 meters. Any fix?

Alternatively, I could place the Asset rails into the stations on one side of the track only, but at the short length it will take forever. Any chance to put up and Asset #rd Rail with, say 40 meters length or at least 20, please?

Can I use the models?

Fun fact about the Toronto Transit Commission: it uses 4 ft 10+7⁄8in gauge rails instead of the standard 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in rails meaning that rolling stock for the TTC's Subways and streetcars have to be built specifically for the guage

Is there a way one can add invisible canopy to electrify my system.( It uses this mod and it would be a eye sore to run a DLR rolling stock without the need for overhead wires).

Is it possible to add speed limits?

@Alex_Cznv
Awesome! Thanks for the shout out, your mod looks great!

@Roman
I think it should be! I haven't tested it but I can't imagine there should be any conflicts.

@DustinCJ

It would be possible but as the 3rd rails are basically part of the models of the tracks themselves, I wouldn't want to redistribute their track models, not to mention I don't really have the time right now.

Could we combine the third rail with the Japanese concrete tracks to make underground tunnels look more realistic? The Japanese concrete tracks come with concrete tunnel walls as well. Screenshot

is this compatible with the american trackset mod

Hi, I just released a "bb 1-80" locomotive mod that uses a third rail similar to that of this mod, so I allowed myself to recommend it. Thank you for your work!

Cheers !

hi. great mod. is it possible to add versions with the third rail on the other side? (to change the side without rebuilding or in stations)

Danke für Stromschiene, ist eine Berliner S-Bahn Stromschiene Möglich? Alle teile von Eisfeuer sind Vorhanden.

Hello everyone, glad people are voicing their opinions about the mod, especially in relation to them being electrified. I've made a discussion page on the UK version because I think it's better environment to discuss that. I've outlined my reasoning behind that design decision and would like your input.

Head over to the discussion page of my UK 3rd rail to get there.

@Agohonoh
Very nice, thank you. This is perfect for creating subway's. Is it possible to create a version with speed restricited tracks?

@europe.au
If you're curious, I think that mod worked by replacing the catenary poles with the 3rd rail model, which meant they were always straight up. My mod works by adding the 3rd rail to the track model so it gets slanted along with the track on slopes.

@europe.au
It's fully slope conforming. It's kinda hard to see but if you look close at the third pic, the one of the flyover, you can see it. A few of the other pics are also on slopes but it's a little hard to tell if something's slanted or not when there aren't really any reference points. I made this mod specifically because I thought there was a way around the stairway effect from the 3rd rail mod you're talking about.

How well does the 3rd rail conform to slopes? I ask because the 3rd rail mods in TpF 1 created a stairway effect, rather than conforming to slope.

For electric trains, it might make sense to have a version with invisible electrification and a version with catenary, that way trains that make use of the 3rd rail can be electric, and it can be used with catenary

Looking forward to the UK version

@MKH1020
I've updated the mod to only have assets now. It's much better, thanks for the tip!

@MKH1020
That's.... a much better idea. I totally had a brain fart making them into waypoints. I'll add them in as assets though probably I'll have to keep the waypoints for backwards compatibility.

Wouldn't making the (extra) 3rd rail supports as trackside assets be more convenient
as it won't create HUD spamming?

YES! Now I can start working on some emu commuters...

@Claude
Thanks! The way I added the rail makes it part of the track model. That means that if I did make it electrified it would involve basically making the electric line invisible and removing the poles. The 3rd rail would still be there on non-electric track. This plus @Dark Centurion's reasons is why I didn't make it truly electrified.
I'd like to hear other people's thoughts though.

super

@claude i like the idea of it not actually being electrified so that OHLE can be present too when an AC electrified line and a DC electrified line merge for a station

Cool, thank you!

Hi Agohnoh,
nice mod you did there.
Could you make it actually electrified?

@jimbobuk1977
Thanks!
In terms of those other rails: possibly, but those are pretty niche. Maybe if someone makes the mod for the trains for the DLR and the Class 504 I'll make it. Otherwise there's not much point to them! I want to make the UK rail because there already seems to be a UK modding community on here and a generic UK 3rd rail could be nice. I think after that I may try my hand at modding in some trains that are a little closer to home to me. But if someone's making those mods already I may put it in the pipeline!

Ditto, these look great, can't wait for uk versions. Any chance of the 1200v DC side contact version (Manchester- Bury class 504 type) or DLR versions?

Cant wait to see the UK 3rd rail! Nice work!!
