Darren,
There's a whole bunch of them out there. I summarize them at www.layoutdepot.com in the Downloads section.

Also, once you have your design complete, don't forget to upload it to the LayoutDepot.com and share it with the rest of the world...

There are a number of Model Railroad CAD programs available. Two of the most comprehensive are 3rd Planet and Cadrail. They both have steep learning curves.

A simpler program that might work for you is Atlas Right Track. The link below is to the Atlas site. Click on the RTS Download button to get to the program. It comes with libraries for Atlas track. The program is free[:)]

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

I guess you could make a plan using one of the MR CAD programs and then you could at least email the file. I don't know how you could post it though. . . good question.
