(...) You may try my program LTrax if you like. It's just semi-finished, but works just fine. I stopped developing this program due to the release of TrackDraw, which is far more professional than I can perform. (URL) (19 years ago, 20-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)

I think you're gonna have a couple of problems with it: The 2x2 round parts don't always attach very strongly to the flange parts - and as they carry the weight and provide the traction, they will probably be prone to falling off unless you (...)
