Cuyama I did find a site that has a Mac OS X version, it's a shareware, www.railmodeller.com I am not sure if i want to kick $30.00 US to them but may, what's thirty dollars now a days? As for the Linux yes OS X is a BSD build so may I can try the CAD software, pretty good at picking up on new software usage, we used to do reviews on software for the Mac. I appriciate to feedback.

Some people claim to have coaxed 3rd PlanIt or CADrail to work with a PC emulator package on the Mac, but that's never been successful for me -- and I gave it a good try. If you are running Linux on the Mac, XtrakCad might be worth exploring. I've placed a brief report on the various packages on my website: www.modelrail.us/id14.html If you are only planning to design a single layout, you'll want to balance the learning curve of any CAD software vs. the undeniable benefits. I design a lot of layouts and use 3rd PlanIt -- for me it's worth it -- but the learning curve was long and steep, and I still would not say that I have mastered the program at all. regards, Byron quote]Originally posted by dthurman Jumping into the hobby again after many years of absence I am looking at the software route to design a new layout. Does anyone know of a decent track planning software application that works on the Mac OS X platform? Unfortunately (or fortunately on how you feel:) the OS X Apple computers are all I have on hand here at home and at my business.[/quote] [/quote][url][/url]
