What's New

 
Rotate Your Layout    

Linn Westcott didn't orient his layouts to fit on a computer screen, but now you can!  Rotate any layout 90 degrees in either direction.  Operate a plan from a new vantage point, it's a whole new experience.

Improved Turntable Operation

No more tiresome clicking through every stop on the table!  Now you can click where you want the loco to exit, and the table rotates there non-stop.

 

New Frame Style: now with cool blue raised toolbars, like Microsoft Office applications
