That is not yet possible, but may appear in some of the future versions of SCARM. However, you can make such bridges even now with little extra work. See how here:

Kato N Scale Library ?

I am using SCARM to document my layout and I cannot find a particular Kato item. It is a Kato N 20866-1 Unitrack Double Crossover. Does anyone know why it is not included in the library? Also is there a work around? Maybe using two turnouts?

 

[Mixy]

Kato #20-866-1 is expansion set that contains several tracks, including the double crossover #20-210. The libraries in SCARM contains only single track pieces, and the double crossover is already included.

Thanks for the reply. I, however, cannot find the double crossover in my library. I have checked and I have an up to date copy of SCARM. Perhaps you could tell me where it is located that is between what objects. Thanks

 

[Mixy]

I, however, cannot find the double crossover in my library.

It is called "WX310" and is located just above the turntable.

For all SCARM users - here are the SCARM model railway blog posts for January.

Thanks Maxi! But I still cannot find it. Attached is a screen shot of the bottom of the Kato N Library. Do I need to uninstall and reload?

 

[BrokeCurmudgeon]

Sorry Maxi! It is my mistake. I was looking at the Atlas library. I am getting old and make many mistakes. It must be the loose nut behind the keyboard. My apologies!

I'm fairly certain his name is Mixy, not Maxi.

That looks to be the Atlas N-80 track listing you have posted. You need to scroll down to and select Kato, then select the Kato N-UT track library. You will find the WX310 above the (Kato) turntable just like Mixy said.

 

[BrokeCurmudgeon]

Again let me apologize for my befuddled mind. Sorry Mixi! Also, I did finally figure out that I was looking at the Atlas list and not the Kato.

appreciate all the work that you have put into this ...
Warren ..

 

[ClarkW]

perhaps a novice question, but how do I interpret the code numbers for each piece of track? length/radius/or something more complicated??

 

[Mixy]

Thank you, Warren

@ClarkW: Well, that depends on the selected library and they are more than 160 in SCARM. It could be the length for straights, radius and angle for curves, diverting ratio for turnouts, just part numbers or something else.

Any progress on a mobile interface?

 

[gunrunnerjohn]

I'm a bit confused how a mobile interface would work on something like a track layout application. It would seem that it would be really cumbersome to try to do track layout on your phone!

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Actually my tablet.

 

[Mixy]

If you want to play with SCARM track planning software on a mobile device, this is the only way for now:

Using SCARM on iPad and Android Tablets

However, for more complex plans and faster work, a real mouse and keyboard are actually mandatory.

I will give it a try
