      @jo-ke as a train enthusiast has 3D printing become the better approach to model making than buying kits?

      Those earlier prints look great.

      I know 3D printing has changed table top gaming. Is it the same for train modelling?

        In 3D printing I am able to get models that don‘t exist. There are not many Tramwaymodels on the market and most time they are not good ones. Here I. Am get exactly what I want. But it is a lot of work and takes much of time.

            I’m running out of accolades for your wonderful trains and trams. A simple fantastic will have to do. I’ve always wondered how difficult it is to acquire dimensional plans and drawings for these little marvels ?

                @L-i-am it is just the simple Nano Banana on gemini.

                i used that prompt:

                "Photographic image of the interior of a tram in 1975, traveling through the vineyards between Ellerstadt and Gönnheim, smoking passengers, conductor with money changer and uniform checking tickets, keep geometrie, bright sunny day at fall"

                                    ProfileBuillder would be a good option.

                                    Or CurviLoft

                                    CurviLoft to make profiles follow a curve in SketchUp

                                        I can't remember v1 but v3 has an Along Path option that has rudinmentary support for branching paths.

                                        Using ProfileBuilder 3 in SketchUp to draw train rails

                                          I need a path in the middle and two rails (special profile) left and right, to follow the path.
