Hello all,
I see everyone recommending XTrkCad to do their layouts. How many of you are incapable of using this software? Don't get me wrong, I think the software is pretty good. And I do computer tech. support, so it isn't a lack of knowledge about computers. But, I find that I have no artistic talent and have a difficult time getting anything to LOOK right.
Is there anyone else who has this problem? It isn't just XTrkCad either. I can work tutorials in Photoshop like crazy, but if I try to "wing it" on my own, it looks terrible.
Just curious. I am getting ready to embark on a layout and am a little concerned about how I am going to lay track without a real definite plan. I'm sort of planning on 'working without a net' like they had to before computers.
Of course, I'm also concerned that my lack of artistic talent may come into play with other aspects of the layout.
Am I the only 'non-artist' here?
Thanks for letting me rant,
Darrin
