Right Track Software 8.0

Atlas' popular layout planning program, the Right Track Software, has been upgraded to Version 8.0 and is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD! (~9mb in size)

Right Track Freeware is a layout planning program for the PC (Windows only). The program allows you to design your dream layout using electronic templates of Atlas O's 21st Century Track® System, Atlas N scale and HO scale Snap-Track and Super-Flex Track, HO True-Track, switches, bridges, turntables, buildings and electrical controls. There are even templates for structures from Walther's Cornerstone Series, Railway Design Associates, Design Preservation Models, Life-Like, Lionel and Atlas O, LLC.

Right Track FreeWare will allow you to design a layout of just about any size (up to 100’ x 100’) using Atlas N, HO and O scale Super-Flex track, sectional track, switches, bridges and buildings, as well as buildings from other manufacturers. When you are finished designing, you can print out the plan and use it as a blueprint while you build your railroad. The software will keep track of what products you use while designing, and when you’re finished you can print a list of required items and use it as a “shopping list.”

Note: When printing the manual, delete page breaks to minimize the number of pages that get printed out. Do not save this modification to the manual documents after closing the word processor.

DOWNLOAD HELP:

When you download the installation file you must first save it - use your desktop if you don't have know where to put it. Next, double-click on the file you just downloaded and begin the installation process. After it installs, you will be asked if you want to run the program. This is your choice. You may delete the download file after you have installed and run the program.

If the program does not run when you double click it, you might need to download an "unzipping" utility program. The typical error message you receive asks what program you want to use to run the file. A trial version of WinZip can be downloaded at: www.winzip.com
