<p>Since you are already familiar with AutoCAD you might think about using AutoSketch - also by Autodesk. </p><p><a href="http://store.autodesk.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage&Env=BASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=adsk&id=ProductDetailsPage&productID=78863600">http://store.autodesk.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage&Env=BASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=adsk&id=ProductDetailsPage&productID=78863600</a></p><p>It is not too pricy @ $129.00 retail. The nice thing about AutoSketch is that it is a full general purpose CAD package. I have been using AutoSketch for over 10 years for everything from producing complete house plans for residential construction to Model Railroading. That is the positive about using AutoSketch - you can use it for any CAD purpose.</p><p>Of course the negative side is that AutoSketch is not Model Railroad specific. You will have to create your own templates for turnouts, etc. but if you are going to be using your Lionel O/O-27 gauge equipment the availability of templates may be limited anyway.</p><p>Good Luck,<br />-John</p><p> </p>
