This isn't in the mapping section because the mapping part of it isn't what I'm asking about. I've spent some time over the past couple of days designing a dedicated Combine railtrack, as throughout HL2 (even in the Citadel!) they always use human tracks with wooden sleepers and the problem I've run into is with texturing the supports.
I'm happy with the track texturing, and I'm happy with the supports in themselves too, but the contrast between them is jarring. I need to soften the gap but I can't think of a way of doing it that is in keeping with Combine style (AFAIK the usual fix of having a mid-tone plate between the support and track isn't suitable here).
Can anyone suggest what I should do?

I don't get it. Do you want to make a custom texutre, do you want one of us to suggest a texture?

I don't know, that's the problem! :P I'm just looking for ideas to what might suit the design best.

I've worked out a solution, but I'd still like to see yours. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I'd only make 1 support pole, not 2...

Too metrorail. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif"> And it would also mean I missed out on an opportunity to have some asymmetry.
