I started with RR-Track, added SCARM while it was in beta and then paid for it when it went commercial. I've dabbled with AnyRail to help troubleshoot, but never designed a full layout with it. I don't think you can go wrong with either SCARM or AnyRail, so I recommend you install the trial versions to see which you like best. They all have their pros and cons, but they all do the job, so it's mostly a personal preferences. I no longer recommend RR-Track for all the reasons RTR12 mentioned, even though I much prefer how it allows one to define objects using x/y/z/angle coordinates. More people here probably use SCARM, so chances are you'll get more feedback complete with photos and SCARM files. Good luck with your decision.

Dave,

I used SCARM myself to design the basics of my new layout (with input from you and others on the Forum), but I recall that a couple of years ago there were discussions or issues about whether some of the lengths of the FT switches in the SCARM library were accurate. 

Is that still an issue or was it ever or is it just my memory going again ?
