How to add shadow to spline objects

This is a very simple tutorial with a great result in Trainz. After you have finished the spline object in 3dsmax just make a copy of it and change the whole texture to a black one.
The texture should be a very small one like 2x2px or larger. The size of the texture can improve performance because when having a shadow Trainz makes the same object again so you will have 2 objects in the scene.
