Tool for planning track layout

[NBV83]

Hi all,

I've been hording a large amount of railway tracks: partly from my old Lego from the 90's and from the 60051 and 60052 sets. I usually try to be creative when I make a track for my son, but I kinda miss the overview when I do the layout.

Do any of you know of a tool, or can you suggest a method, for planning the layout of your railway tracks before lying on your knees on the floor with a big stack of tracks?

I'm open for any suggestion

I use BlueBrick: pretty nice and easy to use, and allows baseplate/zone planning like the larger LEGO train clubs too.

Looks perfect! Just what I need. Thank BricksMcgee.

For the record, I now have a mirror of Alban's bluebrick editor and files (the first time I tried to download them there's was some really bad transfer problems - most of the time it timed out, although it seemed to work great the last time I looked), and there's a lengthy thread discussing it, including the addition of some new elements.

Bluebrick works great for designing LEGO layouts.

No problem. Don't forget to post whatever you build for us to look at :)

Really does - great tool. The budget/inventory tool is particularly neat.

Awesome. Now I can move my never going to exist 10,000 brick only track LDD file to this blue brick program!

Awesome. This will come in handy! Thanks.

Today I just received the 60052, and have 2 sets of the flexi tracks, and another set of switchers. My girlfriend got jealous and ordered the passenger train and station. I'm trying to talk her into a Lego city/setup in the living room.
