Here are the SCARM model railroading blog posts for February.

For those, who already got the MTS Power Edition - there is an easy way to stack all virtual vehicles in the sim in a single column. See how here:

Showing Vehicles From All Libraries Together

And here are listed the model train articles for March in the SCARM blog.

Check also the first sample video session from the Model Trains Simulator, presenting a short train moving between two terminus stations on a N-scale layout.



And one more video about a new feature that I am working on - it's a Driver's Camera Viewing mode for the Model Trains Simulator - Power Edition and will be included in the next release of SCARM.

Hope you will like that

I also attended and even drove several trains See the pictures that I shot in the blog post's gallery.

Last but not least, I should mention that one of the train stations and several other single modules are entirely designed in SCARM

Mixy, I have played with SCARM for a few years and found it useful in N scale . Thanks for developing it.
Now I am wanting to develop a small 5x9 foot S Scale American Flyer layout. Are there any plans as to adding more objects and track accessories to the library in the paid version?

 

[Mixy]

Such virtual parts and objects in S-scale are already created by other users with the help of the figures in SCARM. See some examples below:

American Flyer Layout with Various Virtual Structures in S-scale

You can copy the structures from this layout and paste in your own. Note that the turnouts in that plan are not correct and it cannot be build as shown, because the AF turnouts in SCARM library in the time of creating had no throw mechanisms incorporated in the diagram. The last update of SCARM from yesterday fixes that in AF library.

And here is one more SCARM project with AF virtual parts:

American Flyer Structures and Bridge in S-scale

You can use these in both the free and paid versions of the software.

Thanks Mixi! I appreciate the work done in SCARM although I only use the free version as my layout is small in S Scale.:thumbsup:

I have a question on this SCARM. Suppose that I buy license for this software and able to design the layout, using more than 100 tracks on my main desktop. Then I want to print it on my HP 24" DesignJet printer, using unlicensed software on my laptop, is it doable, regardless that unlicensed version is being limited to 100 tracks?

 

[Mixy]

Yes, you can print any layout with the unlicensed version, no matter how many tracks it contains. However, if you want to print in fullsize (1:1), you will need the licensed version, even if the layout has less than 100 tracks in it.

Assuming that you want to print in 1:1 and knowing that this feature exists only in the licensed version, the solution is to transfer the license for the printout.

So, you can have a single license and design a big layout on your desktop PC. When you want to print it, you can move the license to your laptop and print the layout in 1:1 on your HP 24" DesignJet printer. Then you can transfer the license back to your desktop and continue working.

To move the already installed license, start SCARM and use "Help" > "Uninstall License(s)" menu command - that will unlock the license on the server. Then you will be able to re-activate and install the license on your laptop and do the 1:1 printing. When ready, you can return the license to the desktop using the same procedure.
