Product Description:

A solution to create layouts for model railroads and slot car systems in an intuitive and flexible way on your Mac.

Layouts are built by simply dragging the tracks from the library to the layout. Tracks magnetically snap to free track-segments on the layout, automatically rotate to the correct angle and can optionally be colorized automatically to match the color of the segment.

Features:
  • Create model railroad layouts on your Mac
    Design model railroad or slot car layouts of up to 1000m x 1000m (or 3280ft x 3280ft).

  • Build trackplans via Drag and Drop
    Choose elements from the numerous supplied libraries, drop them on the trackplan or click to directly append them to elements in your trackplan.
    Bend flextracks to any arbitrary shape, add buildings, flora and accessories.

  • Build in any scale
    All common modelscales are supported: from Z ("Miniclub") to IIm/G ("LGB", "Aristocraft").
    Arbitrary scales can be combined in any layout.

  • Many libraries supplied
    Start right away using the numerous supplied libraries - currently more than 180 - with tracks of many major manufacturers.
    Additional libaries include accessories like signals, houses, trees, electric components and other symbols for your layouts. A comprehensive collection of control panel components is included as well. The number of available libraries is constantly growing.
    All libraries can be edited by the user with the Railset Editor.

  • Railset Editor to create your own libraries
    A powerful, graphical Editor is included in the distribution to create your own or modify and customize the libraries included in the distribution.
    Complex custom shapes can be designed in 3rd party tools and imported to libraries using the SVG standard for vector graphics.

  • 3D View of Layouts
    View your layout in 3D and get an even better impression of what the real thing will look.
    No extra work is needed, the 3D View is generated automatically for you with a single mouselick.

  • Extensive editing facilities
    Groups of elements can be created, several selection mechanism provide fast way of selecting similar elements, similar colored elements, elements by a particular vendor...
    An integrated ruler-tool provides exact measurements for your virtual layout.
    With few mouse-clicks whole segments can be duplicated and arranged to create complex figures with very little work.
    Single elements can be transferred via the clipboard to the Railset Editor to customize them on-the-fly for your particular needs.

  • Export Layouts as Image Files
    Layouts can be exported as PSD, PNG, JPEG or TIFF pictures.

  • Partlists
    A partlist is automatically maintained by RailModeller for your trackplan providing an overview of the tracks used and the overall costs.
    The integrated price editor allows on-the-fly editing of current pricing for all elements required for a particular layout.

  • Localized
    The RailModeller and Railset Editor applications are localized. Currently english and german locales are available.

I Like The Programm. well there is not many for the Mac anyway.
What´s missig is a Feature which some comparable PC Programms have,
To work with tolerances meaning:
Sometimes connections work in Real which do not work with the Programm because it calculates to accurate .

Superb, easy to use application that has made planning our new layout a breeze - especially given the comprehensive (and highly accurate) templates included. Considerably superior to anything else of it's type that I've tried (including the various equivalents for Windows), and it sure beats the hell outta drawing turnouts by hand!

Worth every penny.
