Hello.

I'm trying to find out if anyone might know the answer to this question.

I'm building a wheel stop track object for a friend of mine. And trying to figure out what's Railworks track width, like from directly on one rail to the next.

Here's a picture of what I'm building that looks simular to this and knowing this piece of information ahead of time would help a lot.

And p.S, do you know what size it would be in 3D Crafter Pro.

Uh, 4ft 8 and 1/2 in. ?

Just convert that to meters I guess.

If I remember correctly, that should be exactly 1435mm between the inner sides of the rail heads.
