Railroad Design Software For Mac
Jul 15, 2016 Here I want to present one new freeware program for track planning and layout design: SCARM - Simple Computer Aided Railway Modeller It has lightweight and intuitive user interface, 3D viewing capabilities and many other cool functions and features, plus. Prices vary from Freeware (XTrkCad, open source for Linux, Windows or Mac) or a certain charge for more extensive planners. But no matter if using a planning software or not: The DO´s and DON´Ts are the same when planning a layout. Advanced hobbyists know them already, but for beginners here some basic principles for model railroad design.

I have been spending a bit of time working with this program and so far it is great. Easy to use and easy to look up 'how to' information.

Your system is just great. I have gone through about 10 designs for my future model railway. It is so easy to change and try new ideas. Well done and a big thank you.
