      Curviloft does a good job to be fair, not sure why you need anything else. Upright extruder perhaps (Or whatever it is called now).

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

        With Curviloft the profiles can be offset from the path...

        Profile offset from Path using CurviLoft

        That does mean you need to do each side as a separate operation.

        Or with ProfileBuilder 3 (or above) you could make an Assembly with a mix of Profiles and objects like bolts to do it in one sweep.

        TIG's Extrusion Tools would do it too similar to CurviLofts approach.

          the newer version of profile builder seems to be a good tool.

          Is it possible to insert an own profile?

                  Sorry, I missed your query.

                  Yes, you can create a library of custom profiles.

                    These are fantastic. I think I've missed something: How do you make your models so realistic in renders?

                        we sold some old trams to Oberbozen Italy.

                        this is how it could look like:
