Thanks. This will be my Magnum Opus i LDraw, and this time I will not fail,
as I did the horse.
I wish I could explain how I make the curved rails, but I probably won't be
able to make it understandable even in Swedish. It's all about calculating
the radius and the origin of each curve, chop it up in segments of 0.5
degrees and use sin and cos until your calculator starts smelling burnt.
