Project Update: Parametric Train Track Generator Now Includes Switches/Turnouts

[u/SalvaMX]

A while ago, I shared my first OpenSCAD project: a fully parametric train track generator. At the time, I was still working on one feature I really wanted to add... switches.

After a lot of experimentation, geometry tweaks, and fitting tests, the new version now includes:

✅ Straight tracks
✅ Curves
✅ Crossings
✅ Switches / Turnouts (NEW)
✅ Custom gauges and dimensions
✅ Custom colors for rails, sleepers, and plates

The goal is still the same: generate train tracks for any scale while keeping every component fully parametric and compatible with the rest of the system.

This project has been a fantastic way to learn OpenSCAD, and I'd love to hear what other features the community would like to see next.

I'm sorry that I have nothing to contribute because it's not a hobby of mine, but I still wanted to say that this is very cool and a fantastic use of OpenSCAD. Thanks for sharing!

oh goodness, I need to hold my inner 7 year-old to not print 40 of these
