Hi,

I have used a product in the past called 3D Railroad Concept and Design (10 years old and out of print) and enjoyed it.

I want to start using Anyrail so I can use it with TrainPlayer.

In 3D railroad, and others, they have a tool to make your own turnouts in case they are not in a supplied library in case your going to say use an obscure product, or handlay turnouts.

So the $59 question is: Is there a way to make your own turnouts and such in Anyrail? I can't seem to find it in the demo version.

Hi WaxonWaxov,

No, there is no way to create your own turnouts in AnyRail.
One reason is, that they're sometimes quite complex to define. Another one is that whenever some part turns out to be missing, we prefer to add it to the software ourselves so everyone can use it.

Of course, for completely hand laid track that is not possible. If you prefer to go that way, I can advise the product Templot.

If you're missing something else, please let us know. In many cases, we'll be able to add it quite quickly.

Thanks David,

Well, I would suggest you take a look at FastTracks, aka HandLaidTrack.com

They sell jigs for making turnouts. If you could incorporate their stuff into a library for Anyrail that would be awesome.

Hi again,

It's been a while, but we've taken a look at Fast Tracks. They've got plenty of turnouts and other parts in all gauges.
What is the gauge you're working with?
