Looking for more new designs...

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building

Hello all.
Happy Thanksgiving to our neighbours south of the border from all of us Canadians.

This holiday weekend would be a great chance to post some new designs to the Layout Depot website - http://www.layoutdepot.com.

I was doing a checkup, and noticed that barely any new designs have been uploaded during the past year. The site still gets decent traffic, so I know people are downloading the designs - I would just love to see some more new ones.

We’re currently sitting at 98 active designs. They break out like this:

You can see that the N-Scalers are doing ok, and a few others aren’t too far behind. The Atlas software seems to lead the pack.

I know many of you have files that you design just for fun, or maybe you’re seriously considering building that empire. Either way, why don’t you upload to the site for others to enjoy?

Also, don’t forget that you can create a home for your layout online too! Layout Depot gives you the ability to tell everyone all about your pike - post a logo, share the history, talk about the prototype, etc.

So, post those designs, let’s see if we can get over the 120-designs mark this weekend…

Sorry don’t have any of those softwares. Can’t post any, can’t view any.

Dave - you can download free versions or trials of most of the software packages from the respective websites. In the LayoutDepot navigation bar, under “Designs”, you can choose “website” of the manufacturer of your choice.

Also, most of the designs on the website have a graphic export of the design - so you can still see the layout plan, and then decide if it’s worth downloading that design. Take a look around, you won’t be disappointed.

Bill - You’re right, there are no HO layouts. However, there are a handful of HO designs. Make sure you look in the Designs section of the site.
