Those look lovely! Very nice: a most useful addition.
Attached is a modified .dat file set up to use this graphic. Also, I have made a small revision to the button graphic (attached) so as to match the surround colours of the existing buttons. The graphic is otherwise unchanged. Thanks again to Inkelyad for this very helpful addition :-)

James, what is the difference between plateway and the tracks already in standard? Is it worth including in Standard do you think? The only other thing is I can't help thinking the graphics are very yellow!
I don't think it is useful in Standard. In Experimental it is 45km/h,5t max.
The graphics was same as Wrought iron track. It was easy to get 'no route' and hard to find mismatched track.
The difference is in the top speed, and not just the weight, so it might well be worthwhile in Standard. As to the yellow, how about this:
