Example HO scale layout from SCARM |
An Australian with no railway experience building a Midland, Welsh and Scottish N-scale railway without ever having been to those parts of the UK and never having built anything but the smallest model railway before. Come and join me on my adventure of mistakes.

SCARM - A Simple Computer Aided Railway Modeller
I highly recommend this free software. SCARM is so easy to design your layouts using this software. I'm so impressed by how simple it is to use yet the range of things you can do with it. It even comes with a huge variety of various brand tracks of many gauges. I use Peco track, mainly flexi-track but also Set-Track. All the products are available and they can be placed within certain limits that makes sure you can actually get your trains around curves and points or even whether a building will fit that little spot.
Above is a HO (1:87) scale layout example directly from the SCARM website. I'll upload one of my own N-scale layout ideas in a future blog post.
