Trainfreek, yes, Right Track works for N-scale, too. It just uses a different set of track and structures libraries (included with the download). [:)]

Another good program is XTrkCad. It is also free. Website is http://www.sillub.com/ . The link for free registration is about halfway down the page. No matter what you have to do your homework first. If you can read John Armstrong's book "Track Planning for Realistic Operation", maybe look at another of his layout books, and possibly one of Iain Rice's books it will really help you as far as things to think about while creating your design.

What scale?? I have used Atlasrr.com's Right Track program. The only real drawback is that the widest radius curve is 24", but I was able to work around that using flex track.
