Details are shown in the existing object groups for 3.0d turnouts and 4.7d turnouts below.

The 3.0 degree angle is part of prototypical railway construction standards (e.g. EW1200 1:18.5 in Germany). The speed limit of the 1200 meter radius curve is 100 km/h.

All track objects of this 3.0 degree series are high detailed models, including switch-drive, pull rods, guard rails and sleepers mapped with all base plates.

Track laying:

Very easy: Good for subsequent placement because of the well-fitting length of the sections

Related to the construction of new high speed lines during the 1980th was the development of several high-speed turnouts. The most important feature is a movable point frog, thus it provides a continuous track edge. German railways standards include the following three turnout types:

A pair of numerical values indicates a wider curve radius for the tongues. These types represent an early stage of development. Today turnouts withs clothoid curvature provide even higher speed limitations.

All track objects of this series are high detailed models, including switch-drives, pull rods, guard rails and sleepers mapped with all base plates. All HPnt objects are mapped with concrete3.ace.

Slab track(concrete embedded sleepers) is under construction (see the right part of the picture above). It has rail base plates with stereoscopic effect and it is planned as a route-specific substitution set. Please send me an email if you want to learn more about it.

Track laying:

Very easy: Good for subsequent placement because of the well-fitting length of the sections. All options are similar to the 3_0d model, shown on the picture above.

New tunnel tracks: 1tRndTun6m

These new round tunnel tracks have better wall elements, there are no light errors when joining gradient tracks.

This 10 degree modular slip is designed to extend the opportunities of Steven Master's 10d150r geometry. There is no original standard for this model, because of its angle it wouldn't be useful for main line relations. But it is adequate to manage branch line stations, shunting yards and sometimes to deal with length problems because of the the wide distance between MSTS tracks.

Track laying:

None of the track pieces above can be used separately, an A1tSglSlip10d150r needs to be completed with one piece of A1tPnt10d150rLftSlipMnl and one piece of A1tPnt10d150rRgtSlipMnl, the DblSlip needs two pieces of each Pnt file.

1.  Start with the A1tDblSlip10d150r   (press the 'T' key until it fits to your layout)
2.-5.  add two A1tPnt10d150rLftSlipMnl and two A1tPnt10d150rRgtSlipMnl.

The 7.5 degree turnout angle is part of prototypical railway construction standards (e.g. EW190 1:7.5 in Germany). The speed limit of the 190 meter radius curve is 40 km/h.

All track objects of this 7.5 degree series are high detailed models, including switch-drive, pull rods, guard rails and sleepers mapped with all base plates.

Track laying: 7.5d double slip (A1tDblSlip7_5d)

• A1tPnt7_5dLftSlip.s
• A1tPnt7_5dRgtSlip.s
• A1tDblSlip7_5d.s

1. Start with one piece of A1tPnt7_5dRgtSlip.s
2. and one piece of A1tPnt7_5dLftSlip.s at each end of the frog track.
3. Now add the A1tDblSlip7_5d.s(press 'T' until it fits) and complete the slip with another A1tPnt7_5dLftSlip.s and A1tPnt7_5dRgtSlip.s

Working with 7.5d single slip is almost similar. If your working track's first contact with the slip would be the crossover entry, you need to place the A1tSglSlip7_5d.s at first.

The 6.3 degree angle already exists in XTracks, represented by the '3d' modular switch geometry. This means, all of the existing tracks, points, slips and frogs can be used with these slip models.

The 6.3 degree angle is part of prototypical railway construction standards (e.g. EKW190 & DKW190 1:9 in Germany). The speed limit of the 190 meter radius curve is 40 km/h.

All track objects of this 6.3d series are high detailed models, including switch-drive, pull rods, guard rails and sleepers mapped with all base plates.

Track laying: ( - similar to the 10d modular slips )

None of the track pieces above can be used separately, an A1tSglSlip6_3d needs to be completed with one piece of A1tPnt6_3dLftSlip and one piece of A1tPnt6_3dRgtSlip, the DblSlip needs two pieces of each Pnt file.

1.  Start with the A1tDblSlip6_3d   (press the 'T' key until it fits to your layout)
2.-5.  add two A1tPnt6_3dLftSlip and two A1tPnt6_3dRgtSlip.

The 4.7 degree angle is part of prototypical railway construction standards (e.g. EW500 1:12 in Germany). The speed limit of the 500 meter radius curve is 60 km/h.

All track objects of this 4.7d series are high detailed models, including switch-drive, pull rods, guard rails and sleepers mapped with all base plates.

Track laying:

Very easy: the length of the switches is exactly 40 meters, the length of the frogs 20 meters.
Attention: the frog sections A1tFrog4_7to6_3d*.s are important options to connect the 4.7d switches with the 6.3d tracks.

New tunnel tracks: 2tRndTun

These new round tunnel tracks have better wall elements, there are no light errors when joining gradient tracks.

Attention: a new texture file is required to use these objects: atrackRndTunWall.ace
It has to be copied to the 'texture' folder of each route that uses 'RndTun' tracks.
The easiest thing would be to copy atrackTunWall.ace to atrackRndTunWall.ace.
But the different texture assignment should give you the opportunity to have different tunnels (e.g. with a new concrete tube).
