Going through issues of MR I found the following CAD programs dedicated to layouts:
Is it worth the effort and learning curve to do a 3D layout in the computer first, or is it just as good, and maybe more fun to just pick a track layout (maybe use RTS), put down track and wing the terrain, scenery and structures as you go along?
I have an opinion, but I'd like to hear yours first.
