N Scale Track Kato
Free CAD Track Planner?
I'm looking for a free (open-source / freeware / unrestricted shareware) CAD track planner for Windows.
More specifically, I use Kato Unitrack (N-Scale) to create large, elaborate layouts at Christmas time. I've been using 3rd PlanIt on my father's computer but now I want something of my own - but without the big pricetag.
Something that I can just click different buttons for the different lengths of track would be ideal...and drag-and-drop to rearrange when I need to "bend" or "stretch" things slightly to line up right.
Any thoughts? Programs to avoid?
Ooops, I'm an Atlas and Peco N-Scale User... BUT I've been using Atlas' free-ware for years now.
Here's the Link: http://www.atlasrr.com/righttrack.htm
It works GREAT, and I enjoy laying out "Dream Layouts".
You could also check a current edition of "Model Railroader" magazine: http://www.trains.com/mrr/
Shame that Kato hasn't come out with their own software... or allowed a "add-on" package for the Atlas Software.
GOOD LUCK
