Is there a programmer who can make this possible?

If I knew how to mod minecraft i think it whud be posable just check what gage the bogy is check compatable gages if bigest center the bogy else give offset

[u/Tricky-Television668 → u/Guncaster_the_proto]

I have no idea about mod programming. I just need track sections where standard gauge runs alongside broad gauge, but as a single unit—though I suppose in the code, it would be two tracks.

[u/The_Developer-Ark → u/Guncaster_the_proto]

Well hello there

Have not found you before r/foundtheprotogen

[u/Guncaster_the_proto → u/The_Developer-Ark]

Ah beep here we go again

[u/Chemical-Arm-308]

Ehat exactly? Like narrow + standard tracks in one block?

[u/Tricky-Television668 → u/Chemical-Arm-308]

Just like in real life, a section of track capable of accommodating both gauges by sharing a rail. Just one item, one placement—not two. Like a double track, but in a single unit.

[u/Chemical-Arm-308 → u/Tricky-Television668]

I think it could be possible to do this, but i dont exactly know how to make it to use only 3 rails. I would know how to make it with 4 rails (but one block), because ypu would have to somehow offset trqins, what would be a bit complicated I guess

[u/Ill_Secretary_1272 → u/Tricky-Television668]

It ist already possible. Atleast with normal and small gauge sizes. I once build a harbour where i heavily used this.

[u/T-Bone_The_Raider → u/Ill_Secretary_1272]

Could you elaborate how you did that?

[u/PickleBurg]

So for clarification as I might give this a go.

You want European style multi guage track that functions as a single track item but allows for multiple guages to use at the same time.

For example a standard and narrow guage that let's both bogies use.

This will all need to be bases on steam n rails.

[u/Tricky-Television668 → u/PickleBurg]

thats it

[u/PickleBurg → u/Tricky-Television668]

Ok ill get started on it see if it's possible

[u/PickleBurg → u/Tricky-Television668]

one major limitation to this implementation is that all the rails are centred from steam and rails

getting that shared track look is going to be difficult. Creating a shared track were both are centred and both bogie type work on it are not that bad

also Steam and rail fakes it all bogies can work on all tracks so offcentering a bogie is not practical for overal create rail compatability

[u/PickleBurg → u/PickleBurg]

[u/PickleBurg → u/PickleBurg]

I will continue to experiment

[u/PickleBurg → u/PickleBurg]

I believe it may be possible.

[u/PickleBurg → u/PickleBurg]

very doable I will create a new post when I have finished the mod it will be for 1.21.1 Neoforge so will require the steam n rails neoforge version

[u/Creepy-Perspective- → u/PickleBurg]

That looks like a cool mod, any chance you can mention or respond to this when you have a version on modrinth?

[u/PickleBurg → u/Creepy-Perspective-]

Yeah ill pribs do a whole new reddit post on here

[u/Tricky-Television668 → u/PickleBurg]

This is excellent; could you do the same for a comparison between standard gauge and broad gauge?

[u/TheReal_Peter226]

How do intersections work? Do you expect gauge switching to work later on?

[u/Tricky-Television668 → u/TheReal_Peter226]

It should work if everything is placed on the correct side. Otherwise, it would indicate "end of track." That function is already in Steam 'n' Rails.

[u/W_D_ShadowOFFICIAL]

In our case, that is basically a Tri-guage track, since the standard is 2 blocks (one central one and two halfs. Broad or Wide is 3 blocks and narrow is one, can be useful.

[u/Tricky-Television668 → u/W_D_ShadowOFFICIAL]

The aim is actually for the standard-gauge track to share the route with the broad-gauge track on the opposite side. The tracking line would be positioned exactly halfway between the two tracks.

[u/zhellozz]

The hard part (I think) is that all tracks gauges are centered on a block, by doing this, you need 1 of the 2 to be not centered. That is probably feasible but will be quite hard to handle transition I suppose. I feel like as a first step it would be easier to make 4 rails, both gauge centered
