WinRail is an application for drawing and designing model railway tables or layouts.
This application comes with all kinds of elements and features to cover any detail on model train layout design: tracks, crossings, angles, virtual vehicle for checking clearance, signals, catenaries, etc. including all the standard scales and gauges. Also, user can draw additional track sections and buildings, by means of the design features and save them for later uses.
The program supplies several example layouts to ilustrate and help user in the first constructions.
User can, as well, download libraries from other manufacturers, 3D buildings, stations, engine sheds, etc. The application includes a large range of libraries of many model railroad manufacturers' products
The application supports different levels for the elements using a layer concept in design. Catenaries are automatically calculated. Also, all the electrical wiring can be created for a phisical layout construction.
The application can print a complete set of scaled printings defining the whole layout.

New features in Version 10:
The 3D-view now simulates the sun, so that for example a sphere now doesn't look like a simple circle any more.
A new command in the Element menu resets all gradients and heights to 0 in one go.
A new command in the Properties menu quickly moves elements to another layer.
Another new command in the properties menu enables you to change the line width without opening the Element-Properties dialogue.
