## What is Rail Model Track Calc?

Overview
This is an application that can calculate the horizontal and vertical lengths when laying out the  railroad model tracks diagonally.
For example, when a straight track is laid out after laying a curved track(e.g. 45° angle).
Or straight tracks after laying out railroad points (e.g. 15°) etc.
If you lay out the track diagonally like this,
It is necessary to know the horizontal and vertical dimensions in order to combine other tracks to create a layout.
But, it is troublesome to calculate the size. 
There is also need to rely on intuition.
So please, use this application.
This application you can easily calculate the dimensions of the track.

How to use
1. Enter a millimeter number for the track length.
2. Select an angle.
3. The Horizontal, Difference, and Vertical, which are the calculation results, are displayed.
Decimal point can be used.

Calculation result
As the calculation result, the horizontal length (angle 0°), horizontal difference, and vertical length are displayed in units of 0.5 mm.
The error of the calculation result is less than 0.5mm

Reset button
The numbers and angles are reset.

Disclaimer
This calculator is for the railroad modeling hobby.
The calculation results is the numerical value which be calculated by the developer.
It may be different from the numerical value by model manufacturer.
In particular, commercially available railroad model rails allow for dimensional errors.
Therefore, the calculation results do not necessarily represent what the track layout cannot or can be done.
This application is subject to change without notice.
The developer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise from the use of this application.

## Key features

- Calculate horizontal and vertical track lengths
- Input track length and angle
- Precise measurements in 0.5 mm increments
- Error margin less than 0.5mm
- Reset function for calculations
- Designed for railroad modeling hobbyists

Not sure how it works. Not intuitive.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the late reply.
There is a manual in the latest version.
The operation method is described in "? icon > help > manual".

Also, I have released another app, "Rail Model Calc".
The operability is similar to that of a normal calculator.
It has a more intuitive operability and can also calculate Curve and S-Curve, so please try installing it.
