Thanx for the feedback!
My idea was to keep the plugin as simple as possible.
A little more time consuming way to get the track as
you described is place the 2 straights, copy the location
of the last sleeper and paste that in the plugin's
location box (that's why I used one inputbox for the x, y
and z coordinates) and create the 12 turns, etc.
Oh, one small note, since one gray slotted curved track part
(3230b.dat) is not available, the plugin now uses the
tappered version (3230a.dat). All parts are listed in the
ini-file. It is also possible to use the tappered crossing
(3231.dat) for the gray track.
