General

XTrackCAD is a CAD program for designing model railroad layouts.

Using it, you can
* Design layouts in any scale and gauge,
* Use the predefined libraries for many popular brands of turnouts to help you get started easily,
* Add your own favorite components,
* Manipulate track much like you would with actual flex-track to modify, extend and join tracks and turnouts,
* Test your design by running trains, including picking them up and moving them with the mouse.
* At any point you can print the design in a scale of your choice. When printed in 1:1 scale the printout can be used as a template for laying the track to build your dream layout.
* Learning XTrackCAD is made easy with the extensive on-line help and demonstrations.

XTrackCAD is available for free on Mac, Windows and Linux.
