Hey, I didn't make the model, TheSubwayStation did. I am just adding on to it, and i'll edit his model a little bit so what you see here will look totally different when i'm finished
Anyway I don't know how to answer your question.. there are some tools like rectangle and circle. yeah its complicated.
I see yes it is hard to use for that purpose gmx and blender are the best I have been told.

Look before you reply. That post was from 2008 and on the first page; it is now 2012 and we are on page 83.
On topic, can't wait for a progress report. Also waiting for updates on the Phoenix Light Rail and LACMTA.
If you go to the thread started by Alexander55 on his R142 on the final page is a link to get that train. Or their is another version on the dls I think! done by Jeff morris.

Wow that looks really nice im glad to see someone is working on the R68
I applied it to my El tracks as well, and they are used on Magicland's elevated track splines. They are frog tracks used to keep the train not from derailing, but from falling off the El. A lot of freight and commuter rail bridges use these as well. Not sure if they really work, but we'll never know until it happens, huh?
Rails not bolted to the surface of the tie are just left there for replacement purposes, and make great scenery objects when routebuilding.

Does anyone know why this track has 2 rails in the middle? what is it used for?
I believe they're called checkrails, and you see them on many bridges to prevent exactly what BStyles has described.
Hey guyz,
They do work -- I've seen it -- back in the 90's while living in the South Bronx, a block away from the 6 line, stratford Ave, etc ... there were replacing the track, and someone forgot to lock the brakes on the crane train and roll down the track and... (from the Daily news paper story) ... slammed into a wagon ... the wagon was pushed off the rail, but the inner rails was able to catch the train from falling off the entire track --- I saw this because the local train was reroute onto the express line and we passed right by it --- anyhow, later that day they call in a super crane which lifted the wagon back onto the tracks!

Yes, the model also needs editing like the guard rails on the front will be removed
@Ish you should have video tapped that!
