Many users asked about the file with the small steam engine that I used for demonstration of the new cylinder features in SCARM v. 0.9.25. Here is it:
Drawing of Prussian T3 Steam Loco in SCARM
The article shows most of the steps in the drawing of a close representation of Prussian T3 loco in HO scale.
In example, below are shown the cylinders that form the wheelset - as parts and assembled:

Recently, I updated the SCARM website, which now has modern look and design and comes with a lot of new and updated information and resources about the program. Check it here:
The site now works well not only on PCs, but also on tablets and smartphones too. Contents section is rewritten and optimized for easy navigation and access to the most important pages. The same is valid also for the documentation - it has new structure with many new and updated topics. See the new help page here:
Online help & FAQ about SCARM layout software
Hope you will like the new site

[color=red]IMPORTANT![/color]
Several bugs were discovered in SCARM 0.9.26 related to the renaming of the layers and then save and restore of the already changed layer names. The patched version of the program was released today.
Please upgrade to SCARM 0.9.27, which can be downloaded from www.scarm.info to fix these problems.
See more about this bugfix update in the following blog post: SCARM v. 0.9.27 Released.
I am sorry if these bugs caused any problems and inconvenience in your work with SCARM. If you see another problems, please report them here or in SCARM Blog and I will try to fix them ASAP.

Here I want to present the first very detailed virtual locomotive models in SCARM, created by Ian Donohoe and shown in the SCARM blog here:
Detailed 3D Models of US Diesel Locomotives in SCARM
Below are two of them:
These are created with the object’s interface of SCARM and are auto-scalable to the scale and gauge of the used tracks in the layout plan.
Download the loco library from the blog’s post and use these nice models in your virtual SCARM layouts

And something special for N-scalers: I’ve managed to make the complete KATO N Unitrack library for SCARM with bridges and viaducts
As the new version of the program is not yet finished, you can download the updated KATO library from here:
Updated KATO N Unitrack Library for SCARM
See some of the straight bridge and viaduct sections in 3D below:
Now the KATO N Unitrack library should be fully opertional with all bridge and viaduct track pieces included

I downloaded and tried out SCARM, and the first thing that struck me is that it DOES have many more libraries than Atlas’ RTS program. I’ll continue to check out SCARM and give a report later on.
Thank you Marlon [:)]
In the meanwhile, the new SCARM v. 0.9.28 is ready and published. Read more details about it here:

I downloaded and tried working with this software a little bit last night. I found it a bit frustrating, to be honest.
My goal in using the software was to draw and then modify a trackplan from 101 Track Plans.
My general computer-drawing experience is using MS Visio to draw system/software architectures (mostly block diagrams) so a lot of my expectations are based on how Visio and other MS products draw diagrams.
Here’s a short list of things I observed trying to lay parallel track for a yard.
The ruler markings on the left and top seem to only be in whole inch units. Fractional markings would help a lot. (If it exists, it shouldn’t be an option. Just zooming in should draw half, quarter, eigth inch markings as the space is available.)
Moving track was VERY frustrating. After laying a bunch of parallel track, I wanted to adjust the spacing of it. I right-clicked on the track and selected Move. The track segment “jumped” to be centered on the mouse (which was usually well below the track because I had to select the Move option on the pop-up menu.) This completely messed me up because I only wanted to move the track a little bit. Being able to select track and move it with the arrow keys would be very useful.
Moving/adjusting already placed track just didn’t work easily for me. I tried to connect two pieces of parrellel track with a turnout and just couldn’t figure out how to get two arrows to “join”.
Copy/paste appeared to not work because when you paste, the new piece is placed directly over the original and it doesn’t look like paste works. Maybe place the new piece in the center of the window and have it selected and in “move” mode so the user can start placing it immediately.
Rotating a turnout didn’t seem to be possible except by dragging it to existing track
Hello Matthew,
Thank you for your comments about SCARM. I will write down your notes and will then make some adjustments in the next versions of the program, especially for moving and rotating of the tracks.

Most users that already upgraded reports that SCARM runs fine, even faster on Windows 10, but if your case is not the same, post here or comment in the blog for any issues or weird behavior when running SCARM on the new OS.

Looks like SCARM runs well on the new Windows 10 and now I am preparing to launch the next version of the program
