O gauge track planner for children

Could anyone recommend track layout software for O gauge suitable for use by children? A strong graphical interface would be necessary.

I am afraid there is no such tool available. Track planning software are usually CAD systems which have a big learning curve attached to them.

How about making track templates by photocopying the track, scaled down?

it is not track layout software, but the following site has plenty of O gauge track plans including a section called “Fun Layouts For Kids”.

Haha, don´t underestimate the ability of children and their knowledge of computers!

I would give them a quick showing of how XtrackCad works and then let them play with it.

I think you will be surprised…[:D]

I think you might get better responses posting this Q over on the Classic Toy Trains site here on these forums.
