Hello Kevin,
yesterday I've straightend out some of the glitches of the Train Track 9V parts.
Please download the latest version from the PT before continuing work.
Here's a summary of my changes:
- subfiled out the main body part portion of 2859.dat, 2861.dat into a new subfile s00 (which later should,
along with the other subfiles, become a ~part)
- replaced color 383 by 494
- unmirrored studs
- corrected origin of pivot to its rotation point
- corrected origin of 2859.dat, 2861.dat to match all the other currently official train track points, i.e., at the center of their straight portion
- changed 2859.dat, 2861.dat into shortcuts
- corrected positioning error in 2859.dat, 2861.dat: the pivot was in "branching" position, the lever was in "straight" position: tidied this up, so 2859.dat, 2861.dat now both are in "straight" position. Created additional shortcuts c00 in analogy to the 12V and 4.5V train points which represent the "branching" position.
- added shortcuts c01, c02 which add the yellow lever (currently a mockup).
- add the 3 missing primitives 3-8rin24.dat; 3-8con5.dat, 3-8con24.dat
- found the lever file on lugnet, BFCed it, loaded it up to the Parts Tracker
When somebody continues working on these parts, don't forget to update all necessary files and the subfiles,
i.e., start downloading top-down from
2859.dat, 2859c00.dat, 2859c01.dat, 2859c02.dat,
2861.dat, 2861c00.dat, 2861c01.dat, 2861c02.dat
LDView for example can do this easily.
My goal also is to get these out finally with the next parts release.
From my point of view there's just a handful of things remaining to correct:
(a) Some files need to be converted from subfiles to ~parts. Chris, I've put hold votes on the affected files, so you could easily find them.
(b) There are 2 files where 2 edges are too short, they also carry a hold vote
© If I remember correctly, I spotted a BFC error somewhere but am not really sure anymore.
