Most of them are logical, until you get to the 5, which would probably be better constructed as two 2s and a 1 instead of two 1s and a 3. At least this way each figure can be logically built up from smaller units.

Go to any six track station in the Netherlands and see where they put the portal posts. Usually they put them on every platform, but they let the girder (horizontal part) continue in the same line.

I repeat it again:
There can be a left, right and a middle part.

This would mean with 5 tracks:
left, middle, middle, middle, right.

The pic was only a sample, if you look carefully there is an error in it,
the lower wire isn't right.
You can't draw full details, you have only some pixels...

Full details are the wire placer for example. Already I think there should be national sets for overhead wires. The german type should be a match for the DBset but a no go for the NSset for example.

For me it's not very attractive to make Dutch Railsystem...

There can be as many as you want to define.

Why not left - middle1 - middle2 - middle1 - middle2 - right ?

In any case it looks like it'll up to you to make this, because like I said I don't think it'll look good and it'll be too much work for me.

Because It looks like I would do the internals a bit different than you, :wink:

anyway I don't think I have time to do such a change in the next months,
have to finish the canal stuff...

I think this is a great idea! (Woke up a bit late, but I strongly hope it will come to being + that there's gonna be a version of elrails that will work for me...)

I was already thinking about it but I wasn't bothering to suggest it :)

I'd love the addition...

I haven't spoken to Oskar for a few days. Does anyone know (hint at Oskar) if he's working on it? (I'm assuming he has time for it, until proven otherwise.)

I dare say it is, unless someone is working on it in secret...

Same here... But if I would have to choose between channels or portals I would definately choose channels :)
