TT Scale. The Ideal Scale.

What is good layout design program? Oh and a price of $0 would be nice

I use AnyRail. There´s a trial version that comes free, but you can only lay 50 pieces of track with it... But it has Tillig´s TT track, and is easy to use!

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. Maybe I'll buy it if it's not too much. I guess 50 pieces is all you get for free You could definately make that work though if you only used the flex track and a several switches.

With a gauge of 1:120, it would be possible to map out a layout by hand, as TT scale is, as everyone knows 1' in the realworld is 1" in the model world.

I have done some model planning for my HO scale layout when I only had a 48" by 36" layout to work with.

I have had some luck with the Atlas track program, until it becomes time to add buildings, so that may be an idea. I think it is called "Right Track", and the copy I got was free from Atalas a few years back. I am not sure if they still offer it.

This Atlas Track program, does it have TT scale rail library?

Wintrack is not bad, it has both the "standard", "advanced (current)", and "bedding" Tillig track, as well as some buildings, but at 100 Euro it's not cheap!

I honestly do not remember if it did or not, I did not use it for my TT scale layout, only for pre-planning my later HO scale layout.

If it does, great, if not ratios could always be used to convert from HO to TT.

I used RR track for my layouts and loved it.

I can draw my buildings and structures on it and add them to my layout.







I was also able to draw Trang track and structures to create TT-3 layouts.




I liked it so much I got an account and distrbuted it.

Its a little more expensive but was worth it.

Just down loaded AnyRail and will try that to see how it compares.

I down loaded and ran AnyRail.

In my opinion it is very limited.

RR-Track is much more versatile.

I can draw out benchwork, draw out my buildings and structures and if I want I can even do it in 3D and 'fly' around my design to get an idea of what it would look like when done.

AnyRail does seem pretty limited but I wonder if that's only on the demo version? Their website has screen shots of very detailed plans (http://www.anyrail.com/index_en.html).
Do you have a link to RR-Track?
