| | | (...) That is great news, Track Designer is very useful, I use it all the time when I do a LEGO train show as I have a different layout for each show. It still works very well but it would be nice to see a few enhancements. David (16 years ago, 5-Nov-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

I have been able to compile it but only with an older version of Visual C++ (version 4.0). Plus I have (...) (16 years ago, 5-Nov-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) For me, the great think about Track Designer is that it runs just fine under the Wine Windows emulator. I've used it that way under my X86-64 Linux machine for several layouts, including working on NALUG layouts for train shows. I've never (...)
