If your layout is going to make it onto the cover of Model
Railroad News, it needs to be more than a loop of track on a
sheet of plywood. It needs trees, roads, rivers, warehouses
loading docks, grass and gravel! For the basement railroader,
this means shelves of kits, bottles of glue, trips to the hobby
shop, years of work. For the armchair railroader, it means the
new Scenery Toolkit from TrainPlayer.
Start with a blank sheet, lay out a plan with handy TrackLayer
tools, run some trains around just for fun, then open Scenery
Toolkit and turn it into a railroad! Start in the background
layer. Draw shapes -- rectangles, ellipses, irregular polygons
-- fill them with colors, patterns, images, textures, then
rotate and resize to suit. Go to the foreground layer and open
the Scenery Chooser, where you find a large and growing
web-based catalog of pre-made scenery objects -- buildings,
trees, structures, road sections, automobiles, ground textures,
you name it. Grab one and drag it onto your layout -- instant
scenery! With no brushes to wash up afterwards.
Scenery Toolkit is the biggest part of our new Version 3.3
release, but it's not the only part. There is a generous list of
fixes and enhancements, a classy new user-adjustable style for
the whole application, and some nice conveniences to assist in
upgrading from earlier versions. We also took the opportunity to
simplify the product line and the upgrade process, and while we
were at it, revamp the whole website. Please
stop by and have a
look.
For the full rundown, see the
Version 3.3 Page and the
Scenery Toolkit Page.
Scenery Toolkit is available for Windows only. In fact, this is
now true of our entire product line. With apologies to our Mac
