Hi there,

Am a newbie but getting stuck into trains now - great fun!

I need to know how to lay diagonal track as shown in the tutorials. I have straight track, and curved track, but how do you select diagonal? when choosing straight track I can rotate it but it still shows as straight track, not as a triangle! Please help cheers H

Take the straight track, and rotate it once. You'll get this:



Then hold down left click and walk diagonally to place it quickly

Ah, that tutorial is from before the graphics were updated. Rail pieces how have those ends on both sides so you can see disconnected rails better.

It's still the same thing, just looks slightly different.

Ahhh ok many thanks!
