Apr-05-02, 02:16 AM (EST) "Track Building Question" I am new around here and have a few questions regarding the creation of new track pieces. Mainly I am insterested in creating narrow gauge of a different gauge than what is currently available. 1.What tools will be needed? I asume a 3d prog such as 3DCanvas or TSM.2.From what I have gathered there is no easy way to extract the s files into a 3d format and this seems to be a touchy subject here. How would one modify the existing track peices or would one have to create entirely new ones and how would they know they are going about it correctly? Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Apr-05-02, 08:21 AM (EST) 1. "RE: Track Building Question" Come to the Dark Side Luke and download Xtracks from the file library, it has narrow gauge track in it. If you do use Xtracks, make sure you follow the instructions TO THE LETTER or you will wish you would have impaled yourself on your Light Saber....Seriously, if you are new here then you should know that Xtracks is an add-on available in the file library that has many, many additional custom track pieces including narrow gauge. There is, however, a procedure in the installation of Xtracks that you need to follow exactly or you will mess up everything. If you get it right, you will love Xtracks. If you get it wrong you will hate it.I swear by Xtracks, if it wasn't for Xtracks I wouldn't be able to build the route I am building now.Good luck and may The Force be with you....Jeff Leslie Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
