Play well

Really great! But could it be made a little more like Track Designer? So one
can be able to build all the track in one dialog.

Here's how I wish it was:
You place the first sleeper and choose its angle.
Then you select track class an pick for example:
2 straights,
12 left turns,
2 straights,
1 crossing
2 straights,
12 right turns,
2 straights,
then click Create and you have an complete 8.

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.
