I would love to see support for Shinohara track.  I am using their curved turnouts, double slips and double crossovers.

I suppose you mean the H0 scale Code 83 track?
The problem with this for us (as a European vendor) is that the Walthers catalogue doesn't give all the information that we need to implement it, and that this track is not available in Europe.
That's why we were a bit reluctant to add it so far.

Are there more people waiting for this library? If so, we will find a way to get this library into DRail Wink

To create a library, we always need the exact geometry of each track part, such as the exact angles and lengths of turnouts.
Usually, they can be found in the catalogues of the various vendors, but for Shinohara, it seems to be different.
So far, we've not been able to find the exact data.

In the meantime, we've had some information from one of our forum members Wink, but we're still investigating the correctness/accuracy of the data.

Hello All,

We've just been informed that Shinohara track is available in Europe through Scale Link Ltd.
You can find them on line here: www.scalelink.co.uk.

They carry:
O/OO Codes 100, 83 & 70. = HO/HOn3 = HOn3,
HOm = HOn2.5 = N = SN3.

Please note that at this time, AnyRail only supports H0 Shinohara Code 83 track, which can be found under 'H0 Walthers Code 83'.
