Thanks, again, Carl for the detail on what easements actually are. As is usual for me, I may have jumped too soon and bought into software perhaps less desireable than others.
I will have to play with SCARM. I don't think Anyrail has a "easement" option.
This forum seems to heavily favor GG/Ross over Atlas O. As posted elsewhere, I am considering switching, either selling off the small amount of Atlas I already have (no switches) or mixing it. I am sort of gravitating to an outer loop of GG/Ross wide radius stuff and an inner loop of Atlas O-72 radius. Just can not decide how much real estate to give over to really wide radius (O-138 or O-128). As usual, space is ever the issue. I have only 12.5 ft by 14.5 ft to play in and enviasge a wide shelf-type layout rather than filling the entire space.
I will say, the Atlas track that arrived yesterday, seems very nice! But the availability issue is a nuisance right now and, over the longer term, a bit worrisome as to what this company is doing.
