Hello,

I'm developing a solution for designing model railroad trackplans on the Mac.

There have been several requests to support the LEGO train-systems.

Maybe somebody in this group can give some hints where to get the precise
specifications of the tracks, as these informations are required to build
the LEGO libraries for the application.


Hi Jan:

I'm also developing an application for trackplans, only for the PC: http://www.trackdraw.com   Track Designer is another PC application that has LEGO track models: http://www.ngltc.org/train_depot/td.htm

There are a number of LEGO train-systems. They include:
- 4.5V or 12V / gray or blue (no longer in production)
- 9V (in current production)
- monorail (no longer in production)
- racers (in current production)
- Duplo (not sure of production status)

LEGO layouts also treat road baseplates as part of the layout.

Some of the track pieces have been modeled in 3D in LDraw, and have very precise
specifications: http://www.ldraw.org

I hope this helps
Cary

Pictures with measures on it can be found at :

Measures are in LDU, one LDU = 0,4mm

Regards,
Ludo
