Hey Mike where might I find that software?

Answer 1

If you're interested in making small buildings (or other things for your set-up) from polymer clay (bakes in a home oven), check out at least these pages at my site for lessons, and also links to some other sites that might be helpful:

N scale trains are much smaller. You can look on Google or Wikipedia to find the exact scale of each one. HO is 3.5 mm:1 foot, or about 1:87 scale. N scale varies from 1:148 to 1:160. Most HO tracks are 16.5 mm wide, but there are narrower gauges, just as some railroads in the real world are built in different gauges. N scale track is 9 mm.

Atlas model RR has free software for track plans on their site. Woodland scenics for scenery, I do not know any for buildings
