** Project under new management! **

Martin Fischer, the original owner of XTrackCAD has (as previously announced) had to step down for personal reasons. We say thanks, Martin for your hard work on the program.

Never fear, we're not letting the project die. XTrackCAD is under new management. For now, we'll just be keeping the grass mowed, but we will be seeing about continuing development as well. If you have some coding skills and are interested in helping, please volunteer!

(If you're already volunteering, I'm new here. Please [[twindad@users.sourceforge.net drop me a line]] and introduce yourself!)

======Welcome to XTrackCAD!======

""XTrackCAD"" is a CAD program for designing model railroad layouts.

Using it, you can
- Design layouts in any scale and gauge,
- Use the predefined libraries for many popular brands of turnouts to help you get started easily,
- Add your own favorite components,
- Manipulate track much like you would with actual flex-track to modify, extend and join tracks and turnouts,
- Test your design by running trains, including picking them up and moving them with the mouse.
- At any point you can print the design in a scale of your choice. When printed in 1:1 scale the printout can be used as a template for laying the track to build your dream layout.
- Learning ""XTrackCAD"" is made easy with the extensive on-line help and demonstrations.

""XTrackCAD"" is available for free on Windows, LINUX and MacOSX.
