Thanks for your input, and your offer to send me something in e-mail. How do I e-mail you?

I purchased RR software in 2006, it took a little bit to get familiar with it, but is one of the best programs I have ever purchased.  Originally I was going to design a layout for a 20 by 30 foot room.  However, that ended up not happening.  I ended up with a different room, 20x16.  The software was absolutely fantastic.  I had some really tight parameters to saatisfy, and ended up with a very accommodating layout that I am very pleased with.  The software has some cad capabilities, and I even designed detail plans for a shed I built.  I have helped a number of people with layout designs and it has actually been fun.

If you have intentions of a complex layout or just want to maintain a ongoing evolution I would definetly recommend it.  If you like send me an email, and I will send you sample copies of some of the layouts I have done.

Enjoy! and welcome to the hobby.

Regards.  (BTW, I was originally from Rockford Ill.

I am about to design a track plan for my new layout, and I am wondering if the software programs are worth investing in? Do they work OK, or am I better off to just figure it out on my own? Is the software program from R&S (RR TRACK) worth getting? Thanks.
