    Which Track Planning Software

    I like RR-Track (http://www.rrtrack.com/), it's library is rather large, everything from Z to G and all manufactures from what I can tell. They charge for the libraries, but it's a really nice program and easy to use, very similar to RTS, but tons more features.

    Caulk vs Woodland Scenics Foam Tack Glue

    What was wrong with the WS glue? It takes a while to adhere, and works best if you spread it out after applying it.

    Caulk vs Woodland Scenics Foam Tack Glue

    Guess no one uses the Woodland Scenics Foam Tack Glue.. I used it on my last layout. It's a water based product.. Comes up easily.. Although the Roam Road bed can't be re-used.. (Not that you would want to).. I did just recently get a Battery Powered Caulk gun, so I may try caulk this time. :)
