    So you are making a route? And I don't think you understand what super elevated means. The track isn't off the ground, the tracks tilt on turns like this below.

    The official name for superelevation is Cant. It can be seen more profoundly in this picture.

    Well, in America we call it a super elevated curve.

    It's pretty likely that if you're using Blender, you'll be making use of a curve deform modifier, which allows you to stretch a subdivided or copied mesh over a 3d bezier curve. The track itself won't require much in the line of customization, Chris Lucas has built his train to perfectly match real-world standard guage, so any model that fits the profile should do. Just PM me if you need one.

    Well, you could look on grabCAD or search 3D track models.

    Would it be the right scale for the train the op is making?

    @Occam's Razer did some amazing work on the locomotive, he improved the materials, he made the input_actions thing working and he made the tender detachable and he also did some other improvements.


    I edited my LUA script so now when you press "E" you get locomotive data. :)

    Is the tender separate vehicle or part of the locomotive?

    It could be possible if you have someone with very, very good jBeaming experience. Which isn't me. But would be a nice thing though.

    Isn't possible with jbeam because you can't connect nodes to wheels.
