Free Layout Software?
Any good software packages for the Mac? Looking for something free or very cheap. I've been using Anyrail for years but have had to use Wine to run it on a Mac. Wine hasn't worked on the latest Apple OSs for a few years. So I need a replacement. TIA

Re: Free Layout Software?
I haven't used it (or any other such software) myself, and it's not free ($39), but I've always heard RailModeller recommended for the Mac. It's based in Germany but speaks English quite well, and considering everything, $39 isn't a lot of money these days.
I'm not much of a computer geek, but isn't there another Windows-on-the-Mac utility? Parallels?
Hope you get some comments that are more helpful!
