    Or indeed even change where the rail path goes.
    Any way of avoiding this?
    I suspect it has to do with path-efdects not actually being part of the svg standard
    Make sure you are saving as an Inkscape SVG, not a plain one and that you don't use the "object to path" command on the path.

    Also make sure you are using the Pattern Along Path Path Effect, not the Pattern Along Path Extension. Path effects are "live" while extensions are a one off modification of the data.
