alittle too lazy since the whole idea of this is here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/requests-ideas-for-mods/2336215-help-me-code-this-mod-i-even-made-textures-so-you#c7 i even made textures

this idea is meanly to make minecart trains to look better instead of only having 90 degrees curves&switches
or 45 degree up/down slopes aswell as no support blocks or anything under slopes and having diagonal rails aswell

this Track idea also kinda make it possible(or more make it look good) to have bigger trains/minecarts like a double minecart(2 mans or double chest or 1x player/single chest) minecart or locomotion+minecart in 1

anyway here is a preview of the textures i have made for bigger Curved Rails&Switches:
http://imgur.com/a/ykKTz#2 (i can send the real textures without iron blocks on the background soon)
i would have tried to make this myself as a standalone mod(but at same time a railcraft mod so the mod also add switches if railcraft installed) but i dont know a thing about Java/minecraft modding and coding

There are other mods that do this, Railcraft will stick with Vanilla style Tracks. What you describe isn't possible without completely rewriting all the minecart code, there is a lot of it. And I don't know if it would be possible to maintain compatibility with minecarts from other mods while doing so.

The textures do look nice though.

but thats the problem there is infact no other mods that do this but anyway i see
only 1 for diagonal tracks but thats is only for 1.4.7 MC and no mods to add support under Tracks if Slopes+ the other stuff
but i also said as a somekind of addon or something like that

commented

its for 1.6.4 & does not work with minecarts & the locomotion from RC
and i want this for minecarts & locomotion from RC so i can automatic trains

commented

does not work with minecarts & the locomotion from RC

And that is exactly why it will probably never happen, because the only possible way to make it compatible with anything is to core-mod the heck out of EntityMinecart, RenderMinecart, and who knows what else and at what cost.
