Railroad tracks: What dimensions did you use, SplashDamage?

What dimensions did you use for the tracks? I want to get it exactly how you made them.

Maybe you could post a piece of track as a prefab… Just like when you buy some track for a model railroad?

It really depends on the train thats going to run on it and just match the track width to your model.

FWIW, railroad track width is 56.5 inches across, which roughly translates to about 75 units wide (depending on how many units you believe are in an inch, everyone’s opinion varies on the scale in ET).

The thing to consider is, in Europe the track gauge was different in places.

The model I’ll be using, is one of my own making in Maya, but I can’t find any good ortho views of German steam engines from 1939-1945. I definately don’t want anything bigger than a 2-6-2
