Testimonials

I have enjoyed using SCARM to design several N-scale railroads in preparation for our move to a new home. I am delighted with the fact the software allows for use of elements from Kato Unitrack, Atlas True-Track and Walthers turntables within the same plan. More recently, I have been creating virtual structures based on kits I have already assembled and on DPM and Cornerstone modular wall systems structures I scratch built. Using SCARM has been an entertaining way to continue with the model railroading hobby during the time I do not have a home railroad.
