Railworks America

SAD has these rail connections which are made for the German track but still look amazing on Scalerail.



Still, they don't quite match the contours of the rail and they are side-by-side where in real life they are staggered. Is anyone interested in whipping up some US plates for Scalerail with say 10 meter staggering and put it in a loft so they can be place on track using the offset tool?

Nice, but might pose a problem as a child object when using grades or super-elevation.

This is neat. I wonder what it would take to clone a type of track so that I could used these in specific areas an not everywhere. This would also solve the problem with SE where you can simply not uses them for that section of track.

I don't know anything about how lofts work but I'd have thought they would just follow the grade and superelevation of track. Even if it only worked on straight track it would save alot of time placing them. If it doesn't work as a loft I'd still be happy with say 10m, 100m and 500m strips of them.

That's pretty much my intention. My route consists of 35 miles of old track which has had a corridor upgraded through it to a pulp mill. So there's only about 15% of the track that is sectioned and the rest if welded and wouldn't use them. They're tiny little things but they add huge character to the scenery and they stand out whereas the ones on RSC track are 2D and barely noticable.
