SCARM is an incredibly easy to use, intuitive, extensible, piece of software (for Windows), used to design model railway layouts of all sizes. If, by some twist of fate, a particular set of rails doesn't exist, it can be added as a (text editable) library, auto-loaded at run time.
The result can even be displayed in 3D, and the package allows tunnels, bridges, and graduated heights. If that wasn't enough, there are special features for a helix (continuous spiral track) and turntables.
SCARM is also free, stable, and available from the official SCARM Web Site. There is also a (reasonably active) user community on the SCARM Facebook page. The aim of this blog is to group together posts relating to various tips and tricks that should make SCARM even more useful for beginner, intermediate and advanced users.
Eventually the blog posts, examples, comments, feedback and ideas will end up in an eBook "Unofficial SCARM". Until then, download the software, and join the ranks of happy SCARM users.
