Description:

This mod is an accessory component of China’s high-speed railway, which includes a manual catenary, CTRSIII track, H-shaped steel columns and special ornaments for hard spans specifically designed for passenger use. It is suitable for use with special details and background requirements. By imengyu

Recommend using with the Construction Mover mod for better operation.

Manual Wire

Updated the ManualWire components, allowing you to manually install cables. The hand pulled contact network of this module is an independent module and does not require the installation of other dependent modules.

This catenary network supports multiple modes, and you can choose to use them to build highly customized contact networks. The slack of the line can be set.

Rail catenary

  • Simple chain suspension
  • Elastic chain suspension
  • Double line without catenary

For power transmission:

  • Single thick line
  • Single bold line
  • Double thick line
  • Double bold line







Usage

1. You can use the CTRSIII track that comes with the module and choose the version without contact wire. This track also hides the contact wire that comes with the game.
2. First, set up the pillars. You can use the H-shaped steel pillars and portal structures that come with this module, or use pillar components from other modules.
3. Select the manual catenary component, align the red crosshair with the connection point below the support arm, and use the slider in the properties to finely adjust the position before construction.
4. Move to the next pillar position, adjust the offset to align the red crosshair, and continue construction. The module will connect the cable from the previous crosshair to this crosshair for you.
5. Remove the crosshair. Due to its small size, a triangle was designed at the top to align with it and remove it. (The latest version has added an automatic deletion function for the crosshair, which does not require manual deletion)

H-shaped steel columns and portal structures

When assembling this mold, multiple components were split into the decorative parts to allow you to freely match them according to your own needs. If you have requirements for details, you can also connect them with a manual catenary wire for a better look.

This H-shaped steel column is almost the most supported type among similar modules in the workshop. You can use it to build various pillars in the overhead contact system, such as conversion columns, center columns, anchor columns, and so on.

Customize pole numbers

This module supports setting 4-digit numbers for H-shaped steel columns and portal structures, which can be set in the configuration.

Contact wire bracket inside the tunnel

This module also provides contact wire brackets for use in tunnels. Adapt to the tunnels in the "CR civil engineering ornamentsn" mod.

Due to the game perspective, it is difficult to construct in tunnels, so this module also provides a perspective window ornament that can open windows above the tunnel for convenient construction.


CRTSIII track

This module also comes with a CRTSIII track.
