Thanks Steve!

I just finished previewing the site and ordered the basic RR program. Hopefully I can begin some planning assuming my computer skills are up to par. Thanks again Steve for the quick response.

Is the mth lite V4.2 as good as rr track

The MTH version is a slimmed down version. It only has MTH track. Not having used it in a very long time, I just reinstalled it so I could speak the truth about it. There are no accessory libraries except scenery. Other than that, it's a fully functional version of RR-Track. I used the MTH version for a while, and grew to like the basic program. So I upgraded to the full version, and am happy I did so.

My experience is the same as Fec Fan. Started with the MTH free version and bought the full RRtrack package. See my forum post at KnobKnee RR for some JPG images and .rrt attachments of the layout I am planning using RRTrack. Please note that some are RRT version 4.02 but newer ones are version 5.0.

And once again, Started with the Free version from MTH, a rather old one in fact.
Now have the Full version with many libraries.

Grades can be a pain, but I have a method worked out.
Click the piece at each end of the grade and set the height.
Select all the intervening pieces and make the grade. it tells you the grade at the time of creation.

I like the old version where I could just set the grade desired, grab a piece of track and raise it, the track would hi-lite piece by piece flowing away from the top to show how long the grade was. It allowed you to raise in whatever increment you wanted.

Remember, Grades on curves are more work for the engine, I back off the grade one degree in curves.
