Track Design

Posted on  by 



Added planner support, see Track Designer Patterns Planner mod. 1.7. Added switch to toggle off/on free tracks 1.6. Fixed crash in certain parameters (with support from the Final Patch). All tracks are modifiable free edges after construction (with support from the Final Patch). Change of menu entry from Rail Depot to Asset/trackdesign. I can only design one layout for myself. So I have offered to more than eighty other modelers and had a great time developing track plans for them, many of which are included in my gallery on this website. If you're in need of a plan, feel free to contact me. Due to the popularity of this I have had to start charging for my services.
