Modeling Dimensions

Guide for certain modelling dimensions using Blender.

Track Gauges
When modelling Bogies, or when scaling your finished locomotive, this might help with getting the correct scale.

The track in Rolling Line is roughly scaled to represent Cape Gauge (1,067 mm / 3 ft 6 in).

Other gauges (such as Standard Gauge) can be achieved by simply making your locomotive model and your layout a smaller scale.

Rolling stock modelling
Modelling rolling stock, make sure that your model fits one of the preset locomotive lengths.(see image).

The numbers 1, 2, 3, ... represent the "length" value in the mod.txt

In Blender, they would be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ... respectively.

The Origin of the model should always be at the centre of the rear Bogie, this would be the starting point for the numbers mentioned above.
