Yes, Rick was right on. You need to tell us what scale you plan to use, how much space you have, what your interests are, etc. <br /> <br />I recommend that you read the book "Track Planning for Realistic Operation" by John Armstrong. If you are planning a modest single level layout, I also recommend you go to the Atlas website and download their free design software, Atlas RTS 5.0. If you are planning a layout with many elevation changes, you may want to consider buying one of the fancier programs that will have many tools to help you with the vertical planning along with the horizontal planning. I have 3rd Planit for example. <br /> <br />Finally, like Rick said, I would use the Layout Planning forum for this stuff. Good Luck - Ed
