27 detail props based on standard overhead wiring structures throughout New South Wales, Australia, particularly the Sydney network where many lines converge into thick belts. These are designed for bundling 2 or more rail networks under a combined structure. They should be used with Network Skins 2 and REV0's invisible masts pack to hide any network catenary props while retaining the overhead wire.

The pack includes the following:

- Drop verticals (4 varieties - 1 drop/1 track; 1 drop/2 tracks; 2 drops/1 track; 2 drops/2 tracks)
These are what hold up the wires - the whole point! Having removed the catenary props you'll want to place these into your portals.
Note: the two track ones are slightly asymmetric for cosmetic reasons, but their center point belongs roughly between a double track segment. The one drop/one track prop should be aligned with the center of the track below.

- Single hollow beam portals (6 varieties - 10m, 18m, 26m, 34m, 42m, 50m)
- Single hollow beam support mast
These are standard large-scale portals. They are suitable for supporting drop verticals and not much else.

- Double channel portals (5 varieties - 18m, 26m, 34m, 42m, 50m)
- Double channel support mast
These are stronger, more versatile portals. They can be combined with drop verticals as well as the included gantry signal props and catwalks for worker access.

- Central viaduct portals (2 varieties - 26m, 34m)
These portals don't require support masts, but are also only suitable for drop verticals. They are best for bundling 6-8 tracks closely together.

- Catwalks (18m and 8m) and Access ladder
Combine these with double channel portals to provide safe access to overhead signals.

- Gantry signals (5 varieties - single Green, single Yellow, single Red, double Green, double Red/Green)
Double aspect signals for places where ground signals can't be safely accessed. Place these between tracks, not above, overlaps nicely with drop verticals.

Tip: Drop verticals are easiest to align with wires when the portal is nearer to the nodes of a track network, and when perpendicular to the track. When in doubt, use align height. They are all aligned and this should put drops in line with wires.

These props and your other signal props are absolutely freaking awesome! Thanks for creating them!

Thank you so much Rob, not only that you are creative but also very helpful! ;)

There's not a lot to it - the main thing is using Network Skins 2 and getting the invisible catenaries, and applying invisible catenaries to segments you want to place custom props on. Then it's all just using Move It as needed. This is a much better tutorial than I could do, with MoveIt tips. It's using a different set of props but the same principles apply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gYBESyMYfg

Wonderful work as always Rob! Sorry to ask, is there any "how to guide" on how to get this wonderful thing to work together? Something like the amazing video you posted for Sydney Wharf :-)

thanks! I haven't used PO or prop painter but I almost always include a black colour map (to specify no colour variable areas) which might interfere with that.. can you apply colours to other stuff I've made?

Hi there, thank you for making this wonderful stuff. For some reason I can't colour the gantries and supports with PO. Is it something I'm doing wrong?
