To fully utilize this asset pack you will need:

• The prop pack itself
  
• Ability to Read: function just like its title said.
  
• Loading Screen Mod: save your RAM and make loading faster.
  
• Find It! 2: so you can find the props in game menu faster for placement.
  
• Prop & Tree Anarchy, Prop Snapping: you can't place props on networks without them.
  
• Prop Precision: you can't place props preciously without it.

Notice that you can replace any of these mods with one that has same functionality of it/them. For example, Prop Anarchy by Quistar has included the functionality of Prop & Tree Anarchy, Prop Snapping and Prop Precision.

All infrastructure props of China Railway has the same standardized in-game naming scheme:

• R69China: Indicate a China Railway infrastructure prop.
  
• Category Identifier: Consist of three characters, indicate the primary and subordinate category of this prop. Primary category is indicated by two alphabet letters, first one cap and the second one not; while subordinate category is indicated by either one cap alphabet letter or one digit number.
  
• Secondary Identifier: indicate a specific prop under a certain subordinate category.
  
• Status Identifier: used only when secondary identifier is not enough.

All infrastructure props of China Railway also has the same standardized in-game Icon, which is used by Find It! mod or vanilla prop placing function. The icon include a red emblem of China Railway, a set of characters for faster identify , and a tiny abstract picture of related prop.

Assets of this pack will has its sets of characters aligned at the bottom of the icon.

For example: the icon of R69China-SwH-LLL (switches, switch stand, placed at left-hand side, siding at left-hand side, switched to the siding)



Notice: if L and R for direction indication is used in standardized naming, they will be replaced by "<" and ">" shaped arrow in standardized icon.

Primary category identifier of switches is "Sw". it includes motorized switches (indicate by "M") and switch stands (indicate by "H").

Motorized switches only consist of two props: SwM-L and SwM-R. the L and R indicate: the side of the switch it placed relative to the rail, when the train is proceeding toward the direction where the rail is diverted into multiple tracks.

Please notice: the indication rod of the switch (the one that is not paint in black, which provide physical feedback of blades' position for switch motor) must point toward the direction where the multiple tracks merged into one.

Here are two pictures of how the properly placed switch looks like. (with SwM-L)

The switch stands (SwH) has lever, mechanical rods, a orange fishplate for point indication as well as selectable point indicator lights. Due to the exposing mechanics, the desired asset must be carefully selected before placement.

The secondary identifier of switch stands consists of three cap alphabet letters:

• The usage of the first letter is the same as motorized switches: the side it placed relative to the rail.
  
• The second one indicate the direction of the siding relative to the main (straight) track.
  
• The third one indicate the current direction of the switch. If there is no point indicator lights, it would be indicate by L and R. If it has point indicator lights, it will use P (purple) for straight and Y (yellow) for siding.

Here is a picture of how the properly placed switch looks like. (with SwH-LRP: placed at left side, siding toward right side, switched to mainline.)

Derailer use the category indicator "SwD".

The secondary identifier of derailer consists of two cap alphabet letters:

• The usage of the first letter is the same as switches: the side it placed relative to the rail.
  
• The second one indicate the current status. R (red) for derail and G (green indicator plate and moon-white signal lights) for safe to pass.

Please notice: the derailer work best for only one specific direction, which is the side with a bump on the top of the rail when it's locked to derail position.

Here is a picture of how the properly placed derailer looks like. In this case we use SwD-LR. Notice the design of the derailer and there is a reason it work best for train come from above.

Electrical boxes use the category indicator "SgP"

There are two types of electrical boxes: XB and BE. (These are the official code for them in the signaling system in China Railway) Each of them has two variant: concrete base and metal base. Concrete base is for conventional lines, and metal base for elevated sections, high-speed railways and metro systems.

XB box can be used on non-electrified or DC-electrified (both catenary and third-rail system) railways. It cannot be used on AC-electrified railways!

Here is an example of a XB box. (SgP-CXB)

BE box can only be used on AC-electrified railways, it cannot be used on non-electrified or DC-electrified railways!

Here is an example of a BE box. (SgP-HBE)

All assets in this pack has its pivot set as the center of the tracks.
