Model Train Software on the Internet

You don't have to tell me, you would gladly exchange ten hours with a weed wacker and hedge trimmer instead of ten minutes in front of your computer.  It just feels phony to do model training with a PC.  Our dads didn’t have computers and we had great model trains without them. Stop acting like such a Luddite!  You've already tracked down lots of helpful information about model training on the internet. You know it's one of the best ways to find that vintage model train you remember from your childhood.  But I’ve been surveying the lay of the land and there is some great model train software out there as well.  Here's the facts:

Laying Out and Visualizing Model Train Software:  

Track planning model train software is one of the hidden treasures of the World Wide Web. lots of programs allow you to consider the spatial limitations of your play area and employ them to mentally envision your track design in advance.  Some of the programs also help you by offering default designs as spring boards that can then be built on to fit your individual space.  Some of the track planning software is even in 3-D!  It's a pretty good tool, especially if you were born without the gene for spatial imagination like me.

Detailing your train in the computer age: Model Train Software for detailing, weathering and decalling:  

Customized detailing, weathering and decaling can all be done with computer software these days. Individualizing the face of one of your miniature structures so that it now presents the worn down Coca Cola logo is as painless as printing a set of mailing labels.  If you want the lettering on your train to reflect a particular train you had in mind, you simply print the lettering in the style and size that you want and then decal it onto the train. The sizes and styles can be customized to match the specifics of your locomotive's size and historical context. Ready made decals will go the way of the the Model T.  It opens up far more options for you to individualize your model train empire.

Model Train Software will soon be able to help you with signaling:  

One of the most intriguing developing stories in the model train field is the current effort to create a Java based computer controlled signaling system.  Such a system would allow hobbyists to control their complex multi-train tracks and accessories from Windows or other common platforms on their computer.  This would take the mystery out of signaling for those that have never been able to fully grasp the more technical aspects of this part of model training.  Imagine that. Your PC now becomes the headquarters for your entire model train track design.  No more fussing with the signaling box. I certainly know it would help me.

I can see that you at long last see some positive features in your PC. I know these won't be the last computer advances we'll want to know about.   Just like in the real world of trains, computers will no doubt become an indispensable tool for simplified the day to day aspects of operation.
