I was fooling around with SCARM earlier, looking at a 16x6 design (roughly what I would have if I put my seven 6 x 2.25 tables together).  If I wanted to run 3 trains independently, or 1 or 2 trains with the possibility of switching between tracks, have I placed the 1.375 block sections in the correct places?  Any 10 inch straight can be replaced with four 1.375 and one 4.5 inch section, so additional blocks can be placed to park trains, though I have never used power switches for blocked sections before so am trying not to make it too complicated.  Have done a couple with spurs as well.  Still deciding whether to go a U shaped layout or not.  Criticisms, improvements and advice always welcome.

I have SCARM.  The problem is accessing, via download, the file you attached with your message.  If I click on the file, all I get is some command language.  If I right click on the file, there is no option to copy that file or download that file.  Thus, it's unusable to see what you've done.

Don't know what is going on their Chuck.  I posted the original link on my work computer, I can view the layout on my home computer by clicking on the scarm file no problem.  I can try reposting it, I don't want to post it as a 3D image as MMM suggested because I want comments on where I placed block pieces.  I am still new myself to SCARM, still learning what can be done with it, will see what I can do.

cheers

Chuck, right-click on the attachment and select save target as. Then point it to where you want to save it. Then SCARM, open file and point it at the file saved.

Moonman,

 

When you right-click on the file name, one of the options is "Save link as."  On your advice, I chose that option and saved it to my SCARM files location.  Low & behold, that worked.  I guess the language of "Save link as" instead of "Save file as" threw me off, thinking I was just going to get another type of "link" that wouldn't work any better than his.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

Chuck
