+ With XTrackCAD you can:
+ - Design layouts in any scale and gauge
+ - Use the predefined libraries for many popular brands of turnouts to
+   help you get started easily
+ - Add your own favorite components
+ - Manipulate track much like you would with actual flex-track to modify
+   extend and join tracks and turnouts
+ - Test your design by running trains, including picking them up and moving
+   them with the mouse.
+ - At any point you can print the design in a scale of your choice. When
+   printed in 1:1 scale the printout can be used as a template for laying
+   the track to build your dream layout.
+ - Learning XTrackCAD is made easy with the extensive on-line help and
