Personally, I think using track planning software for an outdoor garden railroad is overkill. Outdoor railroads tend to be much simpler in design than their indoor cousins. You also have to consider existing obstacles (trees, walkways, garden areas, lawn areas, uneven ground, etc.). <br /> <br />What I found worked best for me was to get a couple of boxes of track and to just lay it out on the ground. I would leave it in place for days at a time moving things around until I had it the way I liked it. You really only need curved track as you can use sticks to simulate the straight sections. I also bought a package of 1' wooden stakes and would pound them into the ground as I took up the track to mark how I wanted to lay the track. This way, I got a better idea for how it would look in the actual setting. <br /> <br />Jon
