For routine day to day work, however, I have a PC and for this, I tried ‘Simple Computer Aided Railway Modeller’ or Scarm. I use my Mac for creative work, writing posts and editing photographs and video for Model Railway Engineer etc. ![]() ![]() It also has a simple 3D view model that shows the track plan from a side on viewpoint which is useful for working out how inclines and raised sections will work although I couldn’t get this to show buildings and trees that I’d added which is a shame as this would be a great addition and would then easily lift it above Empire Express as a visualisation tool.īut even without being able to render 3D images of my plan with buildings, its greater library of track parts means that for me, as a UK modeller, Railmodeler is my preferred Mac track planning app.īoth Empire Express and Railmodeler come in free but limited versions or full versions for around £30 via the Apple App Store. It also features a number of buildings and trees that can be placed around the layout and some basic drawing tools for freeform shape placement although I when I do this I prefer the user interface of Empire Express which feels more natural to how I work. ![]() My track plan created wit RailModeler which has the track library I needed in the UK.
