With limited space its difficult to visualize different options w/out software. This lets you play around with options until you nail down your concept.

Not well supported with instructions. A lot of trial and error is required but it does work. It may better suit the experienced hobbyist but difficult for a beginner to master.

RailModler pro has been a blessing for me in desiging a garden railroad. It's easy to use and the results help me go from paper to garden with ease. What I would love is a featrue where once the design is complete, I could run an AI train around the course. Running two or three simulated engins would help me know if there are any flaws to my theoretical layout. Still great stuff and I will continue to suppor this program

Best track design software I have ever used!

Update 1/28/24 The app has a recurring bug that makes it impossible to move an element after it's been placed and loses its focus (clicking somewhere else). Clicking on the elemnent again only allows moving with arrow keystrokes, but the mouse can no longer move it.

I tried several apps for designing model rail layout, for Windows, Linux, and this one for Mac. RailModeller Pro is way ahead of the competition. It's better polished and much easier to learn and use. Since a recent macOS upgrade a minor issue cropped up with the visual rendering of part labels on track, but the developer has been very responsive, and it's easy to toggle that feature. Also, the labels look fine when I export the layout as an image. No software is perfect. This deserves 5 stars.

NEEDS AFX/Tomy track updates, some pieces are still not available to use, need to improvise. Many free slot car apps are so-so, this is better but finding all the features is tought, hopefully after more trial & error time i'll get the hang of it. Using it for trains is probably much better, but...

This program works great and has an extensive library of different elements you can use. Two things I would like to see added would be one: simple train images so you tell how much track a potential train would take up. Two: The ability to draw a vehicle road that way you can better plan crossings and where vehicle traffic would be.

Title says it all: this is the most Mac-friendly RR modeling software, the few others are ports from Windows and are clumsy.

When I can't spend time in the basement, I can always work on my layouts. Yep with this tool, I have many more than one! I've had this tool for 5 or 6 years now, and it just keeps getting better.
