Ive started planning my line and the usual scribble on a piece of paper, but to try and be abit more accurate and to give the and to give the planning authority an idea of what I want to do Ive thought about using one of the computer programs available. So quite simply what do people think of Winrail or Anyrail?

Anyrail is great, however, to use 50 or more pieces you need to buy a licence which I would recommend if you build stuff in other scales.
The trial version you download from their site is fully functional.
Cheers,
Tom

I use the free download Anyrail, I get on well with it- it's pretty intuitive. The 50 piece limit is a bit restrictive though for doing garden stuff. I'd download the free one, see how you get on and consider getting the full version.

I use the Lay the track on the area then decide if its fesible. As I use flexitrack I can't see planning on a computer an advantage apart from when its raining.

That can be a better way but sometimes a computer can help you visualize what the railway will look like when completed and can save bending over in the garden.

I know its been sometime since I asked the quesion but thanks to all those that have replied. Ive gone down the AnyRail path, It confused me at first but once I had a look at the instructions its become become very easy to use. The main reason for trying to get something on the computer was to give the wife some idea of what is going to happen before the spade hits the ground.
