I have a 6' deep by 11' wide heated space for the new layout. I have a copy of the Atlas layout design software which I feel is somewhat cumbersome. Are there other software applications available? I model in N-Scale.

There are lots to choose from. I've been using XTrkCad for several years and found it to be an outstanding piece of design software.

The website is http://www.sillub.com.

Chuck,
You might also check with the NMRA layout design special interest group(SIG) at www.nmra.org, to see what there resources are. I know they are very active in assisting people with design ideas.
