Now that looks interesting. Last time I experimented with the idea of running two tracks together with different track rules it caused horrendous problems, sim crashing and so on. I have done some quick experimenting and things appear more stable now. So I have made a dual track adaptation to my 3ft rails. Here are some of my results.
My 3ft track over the RWA default.

Some more experimenting is now in order. *!rolleyes!*

Neat. Have you finished your narrow creations or are there more on the way?

I want to do a standard steam loco (Not a Shay) and possibly a diesel. Plus some passenger cars at least.

A standard narrow steam would generally be a 2-8-0 or a 2-6-2. Really anything different depends on the geography. Narrow diesels are a little harder, with not much variety.

I'm pretty sure you are wrong. Richard just doesn't think this is FaceBook and he has to respond to every silly post.

i wonder why he never says what he's working on. he just randomly releases it to surprise it all. then we all scramble for loose change to buy it. !*roll-laugh*! **!!2cents!!** **!!2cents!!**

Ermm... If it's that simple, Emma, why not build it yourself? *!!wink!!*

Kind regards,

To quote one of your authors. "The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated."
Perhaps my position statement at the head of the forum may shed a little light on the subject. http://railworksamerica.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4277 !!det!!

I have got one or two projects on the go and other ideas further up the track. *!twisted!*

Real life tends to get in the way. !!jabber!!

I have got other computer hobby interests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkwLoL7VTTY !!howdy!!

And yes, if you look at other posts, I have had two "serious" medical incidents in the last year for which sitting at the computer for extended periods may have been a contributory factor. !*whack*!

Phew! Now I have got that off my chest I feel a lot better. Now what was I doing? Ah yes '3D Crafter', now where did I put it? *!lol!*
