<p> I guess the OP just wants to have a nice graphic representation of his layout, which looks similar to the beautiful pictures MR publishes in their articles.</p><p>This is my attempt at doing this:</p><p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ARRPortofSeward-Alternative1.jpg?t=1258714012" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/ARRPortofSeward-Alternative1.jpg?t=1258714012" width="1023" height="559"></p><p>I used RTS/WinRail and enhanced the plan with MS Paint.</p><p>I am not an expert designer, so it took me about 6 hours to draw the track plan and about double that to color it and to enhance it. At $15 / hr, it would have cost me $ 270 to have it done... </p><p> An 11´ x 15´ could easily run into X00 $ - so it is much cheaper to do it by yourself. Actually I enjoyed doing it - it is part of the "imagineering" process so vital for a good layout!<br></p>
