Select the radio button for the scale of your railroad. This will be used in

calculating scale feet when you enter actual inches. Select the scale you are

modeling. This is useful when you enter the length of cars and tracks. You can enter

the number of actual inches and the program will convert to scale feet. Append a

double quote to the length when entering actual inches. The program will also

automatically assign the proper NMRA weight for a car based on scale and length. When
|
|
Meters is set as the <a href="#unit">Unit of Length</a>, input as "123cm" so actual

centimeters will be converted into scale Meters.

the switch and travel times. Enter the average number of minutes it takes to drop or
