Review and suggestions

Over all i am quite pleased with the programs as it has many features in the program and it looks like many more can be added. I would like to see the following added to the progra

* The ability to size tracks independently not to the position on the baseboard
* When choosing the cut icon for the tracks after making a cut the cursing does not go back to the left arrow position automatically. You have to take the mouse and re appoint the arrow to allow you to move the track piece.
* The ability to pick 2 colours for switches (turnouts), y's, crossovers to show whcih part connect to the individual already coloured tracks
* The ability to size the baseboard to the size of a persons layout by haveing more co-ordinates in the baseboard layout and as well to have the ability to have holes in the layout as part of the baseboard co-ordinates

RailPro

It took a day or so to get the hang of using RailPro but after that I found it very useful. Up to now I would have used a drawing program for doing any layout planning. RailPro is easier, faster and in away addicting in that its easy to try different ideas.

I especially found the track libraries for commercial track to be very handy, followed by having the software make connections using flex track. It took some trial and error to figure out how to edit lengths of flex track (there are two ways).

At the moment I am actually building my double level 12’x11’ N-Scale layout, the RailPro track plan is working out quite well. —Brian
