I have to disagree with this.  IMNSHO TrackDraw (www.trackdraw.com) is
much
better than TrackDesigner.  You can put together a layout much quicker
with TrackDraw than you can with TD PLUS you can actually zoom in and out
on it. If you are doing a layout of any size, Track Designer's inability
to zoom will drive you batty.

TrackDesigner has a (somewhat limited though) zoom function. And it's
biggest plus : it will work under Linux (and probably MacOS X) using WINE,
which is definately not the case for TrackDraw :(
