Track objects (also called track segments) model the railways over which trains can move. The consist of a single control point, and are always linked to one or two other tracks (the previous and next sibling). Tracks can also be attached to tracks in two other ways: as a branch or as a parallel track. Tracks can contain signals.

Normal track

A normal track, with default settings, has the following properties you can edit:

  • Promote track into platform
  • Node mode: Point mode and Tangent mode
  • Tangent track shape
  • Custom max speed
  • Reset boundary to middle point
  • Lock to control point: Pick parent

Parallel/parented track

A track that is parented to another track. You can still edit almost every function of the track There are two parenting modes, lock control point:

to a control point:
The track is parented to the other control point and an offset from 0m - 1000m can be assigned. The track can also be flipped to the other side by either pressing the flip button or [F].

to a track point:
The track is parented to a point on the track. The point can be defined by the segment t value (0 to 1). The displace value allows you to set an offset in the pendicular direction of the normal offset from -1000m to 1000m.
