I took a break from my GG, and then I've also taken a break from that as well as my GG break, which is Butterfly my Dutchman. This is what I've been playing with. It's a rather insignificant project but I thought I'd advertise it a little bit pre-upload as that seems to make a difference in download number. I had shits and shits of fun making it to be honest, and it has thick inspiration from the RMCG's renovation to Texas Giant. You'll want to imagine that the track-type uses the Iron Horses. Supports will get little attention. Few 3Ds I expect but it's mostly just a reliever of sorts.

lol it looks so wierd when its banked because the shadows are in the wrong places, do you care? or should i get rid of those shadows. And why is the world lighting coming from the bottom? It makes it look like night time.

^The shadows look fine. Even during banking in general they still make the Iron Horse look authentic. Don't worry about that I don't think it will be too blatant.

I changed the sun position so it doesn't look like every other roller coaster uploaded.

Well I'm having more help to figure this out. Meanwhile miscellaneous support work, random other misc. etc. things. Meanwhile, I think Kyle did a stand up job with these rails...

If I was you and actually going for the look then I would delete the ties...It still looks really weird with the wood ties there when all the real ride (NTG) has is steel ledgers:

I hear that doesnt work. The only way i know to do it is what i did on my coaster. And that took way too long.

Thank you tons Meta. Very appreciated.

You changed the ties too oh god I just noticed it lol. Looks great.

We have liftoff. I'm gonna do mild work with the supports just because it's moronic to upload any ride without some support work. Plus they just don't look very good right now.

I know the H-beams that NL gives me aren't as large as the ones that ledge for NTG's track, but I'm turning them into H-beams and graying them, does this look good enough to execute the whole track in the same manner?
