Stumbled on something interesting ... Many of you probably know this, but for those who don't, be aware that the Atlas track planning software is a virtual duplicate of SCARM. I recall when Atlas had their OWN software, but apparently they've decided to discontinue that. Too bad, I thought it...

Thanks, GGN -- I'm so deep into Scarm now that I'd be backing up! :D

I don't envy you -- removing everything out of the room is daunting, to say the least.

Thanks, Joe ... I'm learning my way through it! Slow but sure!

For N scale, I have used: AJCkids, Fifer Hobby Supply, Factory Direct (https://factorydirecthobbies.com/pages/n-scale), Top Hobby (https://www.tophobbytrains.com/micro-trains.aspx) ... and others. Also agree on Hiawatha. /Bill

I'm doing the same with 1 inch, since we can't easily get 2 inch here in Florida. It definitely results in less waste and it's easy to bring home too.

You're an inspiration. Hang in there and keep it goin'

I'll give that a try -- thanks

For those of you who have a paid license to this software: is it worth it? Or can I plan my relatively simple layout using the free version? It's the $44.90 license price that has me puckering. Thanks for your feedback.

Good advice ... Thanks!

👍I agree ... the Contact Us page says "Our products are developed in-house", so maybe a basement startup, but they seem pretty busy. Thinking about getting a couple to try 'em out and I'll report back. Maybe when the OP gets his, he can share.

LoL ... This site: https://www.berretthillshop.com/ is the one I missed. This site: https://www.berretthill.com/controls/ is the one when I was looking at. Two different sites, for some reason. Still, the toggles look very interesting! ;)

Ah, that explains it -- we're looking at two different websites. This one: https://www.berretthill.com/controls/ is the 2015. Yours is probably the most current one.

I'm looking at their home page, which says 2015.

The company SEEMS legit, but it bothers me that the copyright date on the website stops at 2015. A good webmaster keeps that updated and current. I think I'd give them a call at the number listed.

Just my two cents and recommendations from someone brand-new to Kato Unitrack ... It. Is. Awesome. to work with, easy to set up (and tear down), and solid as Gibraltar. I'll never go with any other.

I think wearing my Marklin hat was the biggest obstacle while troubleshooting this. DC has many advantages over AC and I'm looking forward to using it.

I am red-faced and embarrassed to say that the problem is SOLVED. Danny: I studied your illustration of the M2 and read your warnings and realized that I had the feeder track in the wrong place. Even tho it was on the mainline, it was BETWEEN the turnouts. (I did that because the feeder cable...

Thanks again for the good advice, Mike. Hope to solve this soon.

Migalyto ... Just wondering: is there a way to set these to NON-power routing? From what I'm reading, doing this provides power continuously. Feedback?
