I recommend 3rd Planit. I have been using it for years. Look at www.trackplanning.com

Thanks

Paul :)

I use 3rd planit. I am working on making a Fast Tracks library right now, but I'm a bit short on spare time right now. 3rdplanit turnout parameters cannot be modified enough to get a direct match to the Fast Tracks turnout shapes. The Fast Tracks turnouts appear to have more of a spline interpolation to them. The models that I am making inside 3rdplanit are short little line segments that follow the Fast Tracks shape pretty close to exact. With some creative layering inside 3pi, you can make it work like a turnout by switching layers. I'll post them when I get done with them.

Hi all,
this is my first post.

For track planning I am still using a very old version of Winrail, 3.1, designed for Windows 3.1 (it works perfectly with both Win 2000 and XP), and with track libraries redesigned by myself: it's more than enough, IMHO.

For FastTrack I have built several libraries based on NMRA dimensional data, and enriched with both straight and curved track needed to ensure stuff like parallel joints, straight and curved compensations, curves with round angle values ecc. ecc.

If someone likes, drop me a line at

gianpaolocardelli@yahoo.it

and I will send you either the libraries (if you have Winrail 3.1) or their sources, so you can build your own ones.

Read you soon!
