[quote user="NWP SWP"]Do artists sketch their art on a computer and then print it? I think not![/quote] I wouldn´t be too sure about that! [:)] [quote user="NWP SWP"]I think hand drawn track plans are the best for preliminary planning and then CAD can be useful to make a digital version and work out the kinks.[/quote] The last time I used paper and a pen to draw a track plan was in the late 1960s. When I moved from bein an armchair model railroader to being an active one again a little over 20 years ago, I alwaays used a track planning CAD for creating my track plans - right oin the screen. It worked nicely for me! [quote user="NWP SWP"]One thing I have learned is that hand laying track allows a lot more flexibility than factory track.[/quote] The use of flex track also helps! Not everyone dares to handlay switches.
