TRACK & LAYOUT DESIGN
Build your proposed railway
on screen using straight,
curved and flexible track sections.
Add points,
crossings,
turntables
and other track components
to create your chosen layout.
HORNBY OO GAUGE & OTHER SYSTEMS
The software includes track libraries
for multiple manufacturers,
scales and gauges.
It can be used when planning
layouts involving
Hornby OO Gauge
and other compatible
model railway track systems.
Hornby is referenced only
to identify compatible
model railway products and track systems.
MULTIPLE SCALES & GAUGES
The software is not limited
to one model railway scale.
Use the appropriate
track and component library
for the railway system
you are planning.
PLAN WITH FLEXIBLE TRACK
Flexible track can be used
to create smoother custom curves
and joins where appropriate.
This can be particularly useful
when designing larger
or more complex layouts.
AUTOMATIC EASEMENT CALCULATIONS
The software includes
automatic easement calculation tools
to help create smoother transitions
between suitable straight
and curved track sections.
TURNOUTS & CROSSINGS
Position suitable
turnouts, points and crossings
within your proposed railway.
Experiment with different arrangements
before committing to
a physical track plan.
TURNTABLES
Add and position turntables
within suitable layout designs
and test how they fit
within your available space.
TUNNELS & HIDDEN TRACK
Plan tunnels,
hidden track
and sections running beneath
other parts of your layout.
This is particularly useful
when planning multi-level
or space-saving railway designs.
SCENERY & STRUCTURES
Your plan can contain
more than just railway track.
Use drawing tools
to help represent:
Buildings
Rivers
Landscape Features
Baseboard Edges
Structures
Other Layout Features
UP TO 99 LAYERS
Use separate design layers
to help organise
more complicated layouts.
For example,
different layers can be used
for track,
scenery,
benchwork
or different levels
of a multi-level railway.
TEST YOUR DESIGN
TRAIN SIMULATION
The software includes
train-simulation functions
that let you move
virtual trains around
your planned track layout.
This can help you
review the design
before physical construction.
CHECK YOUR TRACK ARRANGEMENT
Use your on-screen layout to:
Experiment With Track Ideas
Identify Awkward Sections
Review Junctions & Turnouts
Plan Scenery & Structures
Refine Your Railway Before Building
ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS
Use on-screen measurement tools
and direct dimension entry
to help create
a more accurate track plan.
Always compare the finished plan
with the actual dimensions
of your baseboard,
track and components
before construction.
PRINT YOUR TRACK PLAN
Track plans can be printed
at different scales,
including full-size printing
where supported
by your printer setup.
Large plans may require
multiple printed sheets.
ROLLING STOCK INVENTORY
The software also includes
rolling-stock inventory functions
to help organise information
about your model railway collection.
BEGINNERS & EXPERIENCED MODELLERS
STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIALS
The package includes
video tutorials,
examples and guidance
to help new users
become familiar with
the planning software.
