- Draw track from point to point, while SoftTrak creates the curves and easements automatically. It’s like using a multi- segment spline, but made of the same track elements used in prototype railroads. The curve radii and easement lengths are optimized to fit in the available space.
- Home SCARM means Simple Computer Aided Railway Modeller – software for easy and precise design of model train layouts and railroad track plans. With SCARM you can easily create the layout of your dreams. Just download the setup package, install it and start editing your first track plan.
To continually educate ourselves, newcomers and veterans in the railroad industry, to share our experiences, our knowledge and our ideas -- thus enabling the rail industry to work towards combining Safety, Quality, and Efficiency in order to maintain the highest levels of Integrity and innovation while preserving the art of Railroad Track Construction for the United States of America and throughout the world.

Track Design Company
The Rail Renaissance is upon us and Passenger Transportation Systems are being constructed in cities all across the United States of America. Tax credits have been implemented to help Short Lines upgrade infrastructure to accommodate the ever increasing loads that the Class 1 Railroads are hauling while cities and states are generating funding for the construction.
We must build and maintain the track structure the right way or Railroad Safety, Quality, and Integrity will be compromised and this great industry will (literally and figuratively) derail. At present, there are not enough skilled and experienced workers in this rail industry to handle this growing opportunity. There will be new Track Guys on the block that need to be trained and mentored until they gain the experience that is necessary in order to maintain the absolute integrity of track construction and safeguard the riding public. This must be our#1 Priority. Quality of Construction, Safety of the Track Structure and a Responsible Attitude toward passenger safety is a MUST.
