For the benefit of the "What might be a good track layout" discussion and

Depot Track Designer", a great Windows program by Matthew Bates for drawing
Lego track layouts on your computer. It can be downloaded at this adres:

I couldn't agree more. (1)

This program is invaluable. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the knees when
setting up fun layouts for the kids, saves a lot of redface at shows when
things don't line up right.

Highly recommended. (2)

Note that SRC's pics he posted asking "which of these is a dogbone" were
done with Track Designer.

1 - well, maybe a little more, but not MUCH more :-)... cf. the "couldn't
care less" language rant

2 - and Hats Off to James T for hosting it since Matt B has exited active
development. But don't let that scare you, it's very functional and stable
