Model  Railroad  Layouts

The images on this page show some of the layouts I have designed with "Right Track Software" (RTS), a free layout design program once offered by Atlas Model Railroad Co.  Most of the layouts are small and basic, and can be built on a standard 4' X 8' sheet of plywood.  They are designed to give new-comers to the hobby a quick and easy way to get started.

.

For whatever reason, "Right Track Software" is no longer available from Atlas.

But you can download versions 5, 7, 8 and 10 below :

Version 5

Version 7

Version 8

Version 10

I am not affiliated with Atlas Model Railroad Company.

I do not offer technical support for this software.

IMPORTANT  NOTES
All of my layouts are designed using the STANDARD line of track from Atlas.  Atlas also offers a line of track
called "True-Track" which comes with molded-on roadbed, but it is NOT completely compatable with my designs
as some pieces of it has differing physical geometry from the standard line.  This is also true with non-Atlas brands
of track.  So I cannot guarantee that you will be able to build a number of my designs using anything other than the
standard line of track from Atlas.

All layouts are designed with a minimum of 2" between the center of the track and the edge of the table or board.
