Rail Simulator - Tracklaying 101: Creating Three Way Switches

by Jim "Sniper" Ward

Let's look at three way switches: I made a right hand switch, then tried making a left hand switch on that: I ended up with welded points and no froggys.

Okay, select the curved part, CTRL C then CTRL V, end up with an extra switch lever, just delete it since there's no way to hook it up.

Click on the join tool, select the new cloned curve at the far end (so that that end will snap), then select the straight just before the points (at the end nearest the points) and click:

And now you have frogs and points. Oddly enough the single switch lever now has three positions instead of two, cycles through left, center, right, center each time you click on it.
