I recommend you download the free version of the Atlas RightTrack software and mess about with it for a while. You can get it from the Atlas website. It only does 2D stuff but it is great for a free program. And did I mention it is free? I have used Microstation at work to draw stuff but I am an engineer and I know how to make the program do what I want it to do. If you have about $5000, I think you will like it too. For home, I decided to buy 3rd Planit. I think it costs about $80 but I may be wrong. It is a very good program but The documentation could be better. It is very powerful and has a tremendous number of features but you will have to go to a chat room to find out how to use these fancy features. I am glad I bought it but I am an engineer and others may find it a bit tough to learn. Good Luck and Happy Planning. - Ed BTW, If you don't already have it, get John Armstrong's book Track Planning for Realistic Operation. You can thank me later.
