Note: I would prefer an email response as well on this.
Would you be preaped to act as Trains editor for the fan-zine? At least that
way material can be shared between the two (a kind of 'by kind permisson
of...') or at least not duplicated unfairly?

Track Designer suggestions:- (probaly this should be in .cad.dev)
Update to include - More baseplates (Ie an extended and revised *.Tdr.)
Write an interface to L-Draw so that large baseplate
layouts of roads can be sorted out in the Track-Designer(suggest an interaface
to MLCAD...)
Future (ie mid-term) plans-
Extend Track designer to be a Track/Baspelate designer.
Change *.Tdr for basplates to work on L-Draw Part No's not Set
No's
Or add a new fature for 'baseplate' layouting...
Allow *.DAT's to be used for basplate/Set representation.
Improved set/track db (Ie can cope with more entries than at present.
New db should include baseplates in other themes as well?)
Allow automatic layouting(ie define a rectangle and the system attempts to
fit plain baseplates into it.
or a fun thing- Rnadom road layouts?

Ldraw.org is L-Cad....
