BMtracks Info
by Bin-Masta

BMtracks is a set of textures that are intended to replace MTM2's stock railroad textures
that I found to be poor.  In this zip is files for straight sections of track, gravel, and a switch
a switch is a section of railroad track that diverges so a train has an option of taking a different
route.   Im very proud of these textures and I hope you can use them to create some yards or sidings.
But before you go on, please read the contents of this document.

Guidelines

If you have choosen to use BMtracks by Bin-Masta, you must agree to these conditions

1) You will contact me via icq or email, to inform me the track they will appear on
2) You will not use any of these textures next to the stock railroad textures
3) You will not edit any of the textures 
       exception:  you may edit bmtrkgvl.raw and bmtrkgvl.act (the gravel files)
                   if you wish, but you MUST rename them to avoid conflicting textures 
                   with other people'S tracks
*******************************************************************************************
Files

  bmtrak.raw                    the basic track texture
  bmtrkgvl.raw                  the gravel texture (no rails or ties)
  bmtrak01.raw - bmtrak16.raw   the switch textures

*******************************************************************************************
Special features

These are the special features that are not found with the stock texture
-constant distance between the ties (wooden braces)
-more realistic tie width
-can be flipped and still lines up perfectly
-can be flipped and the texture pattern still works
