Greetings Everyone,
I had an HO layout set up in my parents basement in my early to mid teens. When I received my drivers license and first vehicle, life changed dramatically.
Now that I'm disabled and live in an apartment, I no longer have large wood working machines. But I still make small things out of wood. I build and fly model rockets, do leather crafting, knife customizing and sharpening and detail painting.
Getting within weeks of turning 60, I'm thinking another HO layout in the near future. Currently in the designing phase. I know I want to model the area around where I grew up in the time frame of 1930 to 1940. Finding information for this period has turned out to be a hobby in it's own!
The real problem I have right now is figuring out how to create bench work in the Right Track Software. I have the bench work drawn up in Delta CAD (used it extensively in wood working) but the software's are not compatible.
Can anyone help with instructions getting bench work in Right Track? Or should I be using a different track design software? Before posting, I read a bit of the SCRAM thread. The problem I have with software is terminology they use to do things. It needs to be simple and straight forward and not filled with professional terminology you need a master's degree to understand it.
If worst comes to worst, I'll design my own track segments in Delta CAD and store them in a library. I am familiar with doing that at least.
I'll be lurking around reading stuff when time allows.
I will also mention I would prefer direct Emails instead of messages through the forum. They may set for days, even weeks before they get read. My Email is below.
