Railway line crossing ramp for CAW

A new railway line crossing ramp found under Decor / Misc. Decor, costs 0.

Because of it's complexity in the previous setup of the rail crossing the road, I created a ramp to be placed over the road. In real life I've driven over such ramps. This makes it much easier as you can lay the tracks flat, the road doesn't have to be raised, basically all you have to do is align it to the 2 corresponding co-ordinates of the rail and it fits nicely over the whole road. The ramp is the same width as the road.

The farm 3. grain hopper and railway tracks for CAW

A new set of 3 items:
1. grain hopper
2. straight railway track
3. curve 30 degrees railway track. All found under Decor / Misc. Decor and cost 0.

This is a hard job to lay the tracks down. Make sure that the XYZ co-ordinates match where ever you lay the railway tracks. I've laid mine on a level section of my game.

Near the silo I raised the road in CAW to go over the railway line, but near the cooling towers no matter what I did, I couldn't get the road level above the railway line so I "tilted" the railway tracks before and after the road. This way is quite time consuming and if avoidable, don't do it. Just that CAW is a real pain in the "$%£" to use.

Just to let you know, a locomotive will be available soon, a tunnel, a warning sign with a flashing light as a "Railway crossing" and silo connection pipes to the train wagons. Other items will follow in the future.

NB. I laid the tracks near the silo " in between" the 2 lots. In CAW you can't place objects on lots.
