Yep, I've just updated the model page on the Maker World site so theres a bit more info and pics there but for regular size Plarail the two options for printing a smooth flat surface while retaining multi-colour and detail are:
With regard to scale, in the template I default to ~1:76 for Plarail regular size because I think ~21-22mm height scale humans look good next to the trains at this scale.
I'm still debugging and adding features so really haven't had enough time to try out a lot of different things yet but I'll try to keep everyone posted on here.

- A horizontal dovetail slicer (which functions much like the one in Bambu Studio BUT will follow the curve radius for curved segments).
- Parameters for fine control over sleeper height and Z-offset, allowing for ‘through trackbed’ parts which can be printed separately and slotted on top of one another.
