Layout Planning software
Posted by trainman251 on Monday, June 10, 2013 6:48 PM

Is there any track planning software out there that allows you to scan your plan into the program? Probably a crazy question, but a thought.

I've looked at a bunch of programs but never saw anything that offered that feature...

I use anyrail and a quite happy with it...

it has an option to output your layout as an image file and then I overplayed that onto another file in a drawing program, adobe ilillustrator.

Cool. I got a plan from a former member of the community. He said he used the atlas track planning software which is no longer offered. I'm trying my best to recreate it. No success so far for me. Even with anyrail. Maybe i have to try harder.
