Others have had good results with open-source offerings.įor any of these programs, the learning curve will be steep. Personally, I prefer a commercial product with support offered by the developer. Like 3rd PlanIt, AnyRail also feels to me a little more like a Windows program than the others. IMHO, 3rd PlanIt works more like a familiar Windows program as compared with CADRail and XTrackCAD, whose user interfaces are more like a traditional CAD program (click-move-click). One of the differences between the programs is in the user interface, so try them before you make the investment in dollars and/or learning time. I’ve also used XTrackCAD and tried the demo of AnyRail. I also own a copy of CADRail and it works well. (I don't routinely use the 3-D or train-running features, but they seem to work fine) I have designed a couple of hundred different layouts with 3rd PlanIt and I’m happy with the program. But time spent learning the program does pay off. I don't believe that I would classify any of them as easy-to-use.
