Realistic track?

[mvink]

Recently, I saw some realistic paper track and, like a fool, I didn't download it.
Has anyone here seen some good paper (3D) tracks lately?

You'd have to be more specific - what vehicle are you referring to?

There are some very detailed tracks at Fanatyk Kartonu - Modele FK.

There's a method for making tracks over at Paper Modelers.

The ultimate tracks are the lasercut ones you can buy from Draf Model (DRAF MODEL - laserowe modelarstwo, modele, akcesoria i dodatki do modeli) or vkoolv's EBay store - not cheap though.

Regards,

Charlie

I believe he means railway track (seeing as this is in rail cars and engines forum) and I remember seeing a nice free track section card model myself a while ago but can't find the link right now.


Edit: Found it SCHAALBOUW model, Railsection page

Nice looking track, it almost makes me want to build a train.

Very cool.

THAT'S IT! That's the one I saw.
You guys are awesome. My wife is a BIG Disneyland fan and I am
making the Thunder Mountain Railroad set for her and I needed a good
track to place it on.

Thanks loads!

Do you know of any websites which have realistic O Gauge model locomotives??

...We're pretty much lacking free model trains altogether...

[mvink]

TJ,

There are a few free loco's at Ray Morris' website, Card Models

Although, you might have to rescale them to get O guage.

I don't know about scale, but I know there's free train stuff in Internet finds. You'll need to look around.

dammit 1:45 and theres me needing 1:25

Lex - There's some great 1:45 Loko's/tenders/cars/flats/hoppers/utility/crane models free @ kartonmodell-forum.de. All you have to do is register. The people on this site out of Germany are really a helpful bunch. I've been practicing German in my posts and they've been very patient ) The trains are in German but there are build threads that help a bunch. It's a great site.

Lex- There's another site - bastelbogen-online.de. It's 1:45 - lots of interesting things. Correction on the other site in my previous post - the scale there is 1:38.

Jaffro,

Thanks for the link! I downloaded the track and it's beautiful. I didn't assemble it yet but it looks like a great model.

All Gauge Model Railroad site has some stuff for trains including some buildings that can be resized to the scale you want. Check it out and see if something could be useful for you.

The card model buildings are around 3/4 of the way down the page. Here is the blurb they have for the card models and the file format they are in:

The zipped file includes graphics and a text file. Instructions are on the file with the "txt" extension The files themselves are in TIF or PCX format.

Note that all files here are in PCX format. The Paint program usually included in Windows may not be big enough to handle them. You can use another Paint or Photo Editing program. If you don't have one, try Tucows Download. They offer Windows freeware and software. One of the more popular programs there is NeoPaint.

These images are in 300 dpi, and are made to fit on an 8.5" by 11" sheet of paper. They should print well in most color inkjet or laser printers.
