Some of the rails have different sizes and so they don't run seamless into another. Besides that the positioning wasn't centered and I reduced the polys by making the "steps" out of four faces instead of five and left out one bended part on the "steps", again to save some more polys.
I don't know how you've done it, but the best method (imo) making such partial models which are supposed to be stacked/connected is to make a one-in-all model first, in this case: piling up the lower end + mid part + upper end, unwrap it as that and then separate/align each single part as supposed.
Don't get me wrong. Your model is fine in general and I have encountered this tiny flaws quite late myself. In this case rebuilding seemed to be the faster solution.
By the way, how do you unwrap your models? Do you have Lithunwrap or Ultimate Unwrap (my personal favourite) or are you using Milkshape's inbuilt UV-editor? Just curious. :)
