I used an earlier version of CADRail before that.

I've used 3rdPlanIt since it's initial release. How quickly you will be able to draw nice track plans depends on your own ability to understand these systems. They also help to visualize your ideas properly, especially with a 3D feature.Ī second word of warning: none of the tools are really plug&play. Track planning tools provide the sanity check, if everything will come together they way you envision it. That you still have to do, either in the back of your head or a piece of paper. There are others, which do not come to my mind right now.Ī word of advice: no software tool will do the design work for you. There is WinTrack, which is a quite powerful tool, but not easy to learn. If you want more, you will have to buy the full license.

The free version of AnyRail has a limitation to 50 pieces of track.

There are freebies, like XtrkCad or SCARM, which do a decent job. The choice of a track planning tool finally depends on what features you woulkd like to have and how much you are willing to pay. " - questions are always quite difficult to answer.
