TrainDesign is born with the purpose to plan your model railroad track. In a few minutes you can create lines of any kind. Using a set of tracks you can choose the type of binary-to-use, orient, stretch or shrink it. The curves can be modified to width angle and radius of curvature. TrainDesign stands out for its ease of use and the versatility, giving space for creativity. You will learn that it is very easy to edit lines, determine the altitude, change every single piece in an intuitive and simple manner. With only the use of your fingers, you can create small or large tracks, focus on building a single part using the touch or see the route as a whole.

Wrong geometry for minitrix

This could be a good piece of software with some work but for the track I was using the geometry is off quite a bit.

Worked well at first, now seems to be overdue for updates

This was initially pretty easy to use. I liked that, if a particular track was not available, you could add it. Granted, you were inputing each track piece one at a time, but it was rather easy, despite being time consuming. Designing a 3D plan was a bit tricky, and the track loops didnkt quite connect, but it was close enough to help me figure out what track to order.Now, about 2 years later, I want to design a new layout. Unfortunately, it seems the app doesn’t respond as well, and there hasn’t been an update in quite a while. I’m trying to design a small layout for a fixed dimension piece of remnant plywood, and I’m having difficulty even setting the boundary dimensions, let alone start the track design.I hope the developers haven’t moved on, and will update the app soon.

Generally well done but no way to report the odd bug

I have been playing with designing track in Marklin Z and am generally impressed, especially at this price. However, I am now stuck. I have a piece that I need to rotate twice but the rotate icon greys out after one rotation; other pieces rotate here and this piece works fine in other places. There is obviously a small bug which needs to be addressed but there is no way I have found to let the designer know about the glitch. I don’t expect any quick fixes but it would be good to be able to log the issue.

Not quite ready for meaningful use yet

Spent 2 bucks to see if maybe this was a viable program.It isn't......at least not yet.Probably a good start to build this program for future use, but now it needs a fair amount is work to be of use.Definitely not user friendly at this point.
