hi

thx  for answering my post =)
ok, the reasons you mentioned are right. maybe i'm not the one with  the
most knowledege  about lego. It was just  becaus i wanted to
"electronically" play with the trainset =) (it's a little bit borig to build
only straight tracks =)  ). Well to build other parts is also difficult
because  i don't own real lego. I just didn't have when I was a child =) .
So if I want to modell an other part, I also need reference pictures. Maybe
there's an other thing which I can do. If you have an idea the tell me =) .
Or if you have any idea on how to  get such good photos that i can modell
without having the real part ... .
well i have to go to bed now =)

Andreas

looking forward for the next track parts that  i can  continue building
scenes =)

i've got just a short question. are there any other trackparts which are
work in progress?
i'm missing things like curves and switches.

A few hours after your post Ludo Soute posted about the switch:

I have a "Train Track Slotted Rail Curved Inside" in progress.

well i'm really a newbe with "electronic" Lego. Also i don't have any =).
But if anyone could take some good photos as reference, i'll also help
building up the library.

Please consider to restrain yourself from any attempt to model a part that
is not actually in your hands. Previous experences showed that people • taking
a similar aproach generally submitted very poor part files, containing bad
mistakes they probalbly would not have made when they carefully examined • the
part with their own eyes. It might be a waste of your good intended • effort.

Most parts, certainly the 9V track related, are much too complicated to do
from even good pictures alone, and what you realy would be lacking is the
ability to measure, compare proportions with other parts and look to it • from
all angles. As an example, "Train Track  9V Straight" took more than a • year
to develop and get approved.
The same applies to "eyes needed to look at parts" (or certification as we
call it). It's not a good idea to give comments on a LDraw file for a part
that you don't have in front of you in the real world.

Maybe you still have a part in your collection that hasn't been done yet. • It
may be less glamorous than a track part, but this would be a much greater • help.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

(...) The blue tracks are available in curves and cross. So you can use the blue track to run your virtual trains. Tore is working on the blue switches, just be patient. Niels Btw, is anybody planning to do the gray slotted cross? (22 years ago, 10-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
