Good Afternoon, there is a terrible storm outside - I am glad I can stay inside, too much [st]. Flo, a strong coffee for me, please! Robby - this is your weekend! I am sure the show will be a great success for you! Ken - RTS allows you  to draw the track as a single line, a double line or a double, filled line. You can also change the thickness of the lines and the color. Go to the view button and select properties. Change the track to single line and the color of the grid to gray - it will be much easier to follow your track plan. Some comments on your drawing: I still think you are trying to put too much into the space you have, without achieving what you really want to have. If you are a railfan - modeler, wouldn´t you like to watch your trains snake around gentle curves in some spectacular scenery? I am afraid this requires a slightly different approach. Your curves look "boxy" - they have no easements, and the track is neatly lined up along the wall. That won´t give you that sweepin´ look which adds to realism. Take a second look at your druthers, think about how you want to operate your layout and what kind of "view" you´d like to have. After all, a layout is a stage for our trains! Just my thoughts ... You all have a good day!
