 Mind, if I correct you, Alan? You can open WinRail files in RTS. You can actually work with the files, even if you have used, say, Peco track. Of course, you can only add Atlas track to the file. Actually, I think that WinRail/RTS is a versatile tool and not to difficult to handle. It has its limitations, though - just like any CAD tool, it will just help you draw a plan and not design it. I am still on WinRail 8.0 and therefore have no 3D functionality, but that´s OK for me.This is one of my latest plans I have drawn:<img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/BISHOPSGATE-HO-V211-1.jpg?t=1269441015" mce_src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/BISHOPSGATE-HO-V211-1.jpg?t=1269441015" width="1024" height="458"> The track plan is for a British outline switching layout, which, with the heavy use of traversers and sector plates, opens up a bundle of operational challenges. It is meant to be a show layout, with a small, but highly detailed scenic bit in the middle. The plan is completely drawn in WinRail, using the draw function for the structures and trees and the line function for fences etc. It is a bit fiddly, but once you have the knack of it, does not take much time!
