The Railway Assets package contains various models, materials and geometry nodes useful for building railway locomotives and scenes. All models are created with reference to the original engineering drawings, through detailed research and study or both. They are highly accurate.

2024-08-28 Update

• Added a basic straight switch (turnout).
• All chairs required to build additional turnouts included as assets.
• Improved materials.
• Updated sleeper spacing to correctly provide half-width gap and beginning and end of track.
• Added switch to track geometry nodes to turn off scattering in viewport - enabling better performance for large scenes.

2024-08-17 Update

• Improved category organization of assets.
• Addition of concrete sleepers (ties) and e-clip fasteners to track generator (including a menu for 'steam era' or 'modern era').
• Some additional models, including a draw hook and some basic fasteners.

2024-08-03 Update

• Improved wood material for sleepers.
• Addition of grass scattering between sleepers.
• Addition of leaves scattering on sleepers.

The initial version includes 2 .blend files.
