thats what patchman told me.

For people on 98, though, I think it's a bit faster than the Windows version. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

explains, is there a dos coder around?

Adding CC support to the pylons would be relatively straightforward. Since no elrails graphics would be using company blue in the pylons anyway, I can add that without difficulties.

That would be jolly

Actually, it's not that easy after all. There is no owner information available for bridges, not without searching the map array for a matching bridge head.

Well - bridges obscure the view anyways - so maybe the pylons on a bridge could use a default color - say grey?

The grammar-fiend within me wants to query the use of "intrusive" instead of "obtrusive". No matter ...

I've got huge respect for you as a graphics artist, uzurpator, but even I have some doubts as to whether it is really possible to produce a catenary that is less obtrusive than Michael Blunck's erails, while still retaining an appropriate/convincing graphical "presence".

Still, options are always welcome, so I look forward to seeing what comes of this.

Personally, though, I'd prefer someone worked towards a less obtrusive tram catenary system. Even though such systems in real life are no oil-paintings, the present grf strikes me as excessively bulky and obtrusive -- or intrusive, if you prefer.
