Mixy Junior Member Posts: Hello all 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 almost all Lionel track systems build-in.
Scale s Modeled: G I've checked out the SCARM freeware program and believe it would be a great help for new as well as experienced train enthusiasts. I did a Norton check on the site and at this time it is free from malware. Are you involved with the development of the program or just passing it along?
Happy Rails. Railroad Crossings: Mother Natures way of thinning the gene pool. Instead of using trestles, the over and under component should be built using plywood risers, allowing the up and downgrades to be integrated into hills or mountains. One of the most revered chapters in railroad history was the construction of the massive four-track mainlines by the eastern trunk railroads, particularly the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central System. This plan provides the action of a 4-track main in a reasonable 16 by 16 foot area.
Looking more complicated than it really is, the PRR is basically one doubled over figure-8 inside another one. The multiple crossovers allow for moving between the two lines and for trains to reverse direction.
The four lobes created by the loops are used for four different purposes. The upper right lobe is for a passenger terminal, the upper left is a small freight yard and engine servicing area, and the lower left is a mine or industrial area. With the variety of loops and routes, command control would be a perfect fit for this layout, allowing 2 or 3 trains on each loop without the need for blocks and other wiring complications. This layout does have a couple drawbacks.
First and foremost is that in order to get the vertical mainline over the horizontal mainline, nearly all of the curved sections of the mainlines need to be on grades. Also, the yard areas are a bit small for a layout of this size. It is complex—the Atlas plan uses 32 switches.

It is the first complete new track system Lionel has introduced since , and has rapidly gained popularity due to its ease of assembly, good looks, and large variety of available pieces.
FasTrack differs from earlier types of Lionel track in having a built-in roadbed, which enhances the appearance of the track by simulating the gravel bed of real railroad tracks. More importantly, FasTrack also clips together in a fashion similar to slot car track, and is ideal for use on a floor or carpet.
Of course, it looks great on permanent layouts as well. Our display layout uses FasTrack. When people talk about their old train set with its three rail track, this is usually the type of track they are talking about.
O Gauge track is all metal, usually with three crossties per section. It uses rounded, removable pins to connect the track sections together. O Gauge track is very easy to work with and can be cut into a variety of lengths if needed.
If you want a classic, nostalgic look to your layout, O Gauge is certainly worth a look. Designed with permanent layouts in mind, Scaletrax has smaller rails, more crossties, and is very realistic looking.
Many hobbyists consider it the most realistic 3-rail track on the market. Many times the loop is folded over itself, creating a figure 8, and parts of the loop can be elevated to pass over each other.
