I've just finished building some much need 3rd Rail sections. These are just 3rd Rails no track. I did this because there is alot of high quality track and extremely good looking track that I and I know others would like to use. By creating just the 3rd rail it allows you to uses any track you want.So far I've created 3 versions with 2 types for each.
+ A Chicago exposed 3rd Rail
+ A White running board 3rd Rail
+ A White running board w/ concrete posts 3rd RailAll of the sections come in 2 flavors:
30.58m/100ft for straights and 2m/6ft for curves. Both can be used for shorter sections.They all look really nice. I'll leave the wood plank 3rd Rail to Magicland unless he doesn't plan to release his anytime soon.I have to make 1 change that will make laying the rails easier and that I didn't think off until I was already testing them and doing things the hard way...lolWhat I really need to know is how much interest is there in this and if I should release them once I tweak them?Jaleel
