This is a re-release of the earlier posted 2865.dat file from abouth 2 years
ago. It's been completely re-written, and i have to thank Manfred Moolhuysen
a thousand times for his tremendious help.It's a lot more realistic than
previous release and the railconductor metal has a different color.

Wow, cool!  It looks great!  It looks like y'all have a done a very nice job
on a complex part.

May i have the attention of you all, if you have some remarks, to post them
to my personal email adres (asap?), so that i can make the nessesarry
changes. We (Manfred & I) hope that this part is reddy for release to the
parts tracker, and no changes need to be made.

Right now, I've just a couple of small details...

In order to view the file in L3Lab, I had to change all the \s\* subfile
references to s\* (ie, I removed the leading back-slash).

This will be done, no problem.

There are a few quads that use color 383.  LDraw/LEdit will fail to render
those objects correctly - dithered colors are only allowed with linetype 1.
These quads should be pushed into a subfile.

Also, I noticed some lines that seemed to be associated with the metal
rails, but were given color 24.

Or, you could move all the code for the electric rails into a separate part
file -- this would resolve the issue with the 383-colored quads, the 24
lines, and would better match the usual method of organizing files for
compound parts.  But I wouldn't use this approach if you can resolve the
383/24 issues in some other way.

So the easiest way is :
1) remove all the sub-file "call's " from the main file
2) move the whole main file to a sub-file,(for example 2865S05.dat)
3) create a new mainfile where i "call" all the different sub-files. Right?

(...) Close. I'd just move all the 383-colored lines (and all the edge-lines for the rails) to a subfile, change the 383 to 16, and 'call' that subfile from the main file with color 383. Steve (23 years ago, 18-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
