<P mce_keep="true">Paul, just a short answer to your questions:</P> <UL> <LI> <DIV mce_keep="true">Yes, I plan to use the float as a exchangable cassette for staging.</DIV></LI> <LI> <DIV mce_keep="true">12 cars is a lot, but that´s the max the layout can handle. Actually it is 24 cars - 12 coming, 12 leaving. I am thinking to make the float a little shorter, say, by a foot, the reduces the amount of cars landed to 6 - 8. Plenty of track available for that. </DIV></LI> <LI> <DIV mce_keep="true">The CAD system is WinRail. WinRail is actually RTS, but with a bigger library of track systems. If you are happy with Atlas track, then RTS is ok. There is a drawing feature incorpoirated, that lets you draw different shapes in various colors. I use that feature to draw buildings etc. The finished plan gets a rework in MSPaint and, voila´ - here is the plan! Takes a bit of a learning curve, though...</DIV></LI></UL> <P mce_keep="true">I need to have pics like that to nurture my "imagineering".</P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>
