Hi all,

I have been interested in model railroading for most of my life, but never had the room or the time. Now I have the time and a 10'x11' room for a layout.

I have been reading and purchasing books over the years and am ready to start designing my first N scale layout.

My question is this. As an AutoCAD Designer does anyone know of track symbols/blocks for AutoCAD that I can do layout design with.

I can develop my own but I like to skip this if I can.

Thanks To All

Dwyane

Dwyane,
First, welcome to the forum and cheers to finally being able to get into the hobby!! Check with your local hobby shop. I know there is a CAD program made by 3rd Planit that is specifically for model railroad design. You can also get ahold of them online at: http://www.TrackPlanning.com
or e-mail them at:
3Pl@TrackPlanning.com
hope this helps!! Good luck and Happy Modeling!!
John

Dwayne,
Welcome from another corner! The program that John reccomended is really a good one. It will be simple for you to operate wwith your Cad design exzzperience. Never be shy about question on this forum, sombody out here will have an answer--just be careful following the advice(specialy from me and John!!!)
Keep us posted on your progress.
