rhenin... You can try Atlas' Right Track Software for planning, although I don't know if it handles metric measurements. You can find it here: http://www.atlasrr.com/software/welcome.asp It is a free download, and will run on older machines with windows. It is a little tricky to use at first (especially the flex track tool) but will help you get an idea of what you want. You can even print your layout full size to help with tracklaying once your benchwork is built. As for ideas to get you started, Atlas has many (many!) plans on their web site, and there are lots of books published by Kalmbach (the "parent" of this site - trains.com). Check the library, local train shop, or internet book sellers. Andrew
