Software developers are like model railroaders -- having built something, they can't stop tinkering with it. That's what's been going on here for the last few months: tinkering and adding doodads to enhance your TrainPlaying experience. The results are in Version 4.1, now ready for download, featuring new tools for scenery and track artists, new decorations for your layout, and the usual round of paint touchup and soot removal.
You can buy or upgrade from within the program. See How To Buy or How To Upgrade below.
Track transforms! Rotate or flip the track selection to get that yard just where you want it. Embedded sections move without breaking track connectivity.
And more. Bug fixes. Updated manual. Simplified interface. Improved preferences.

You can upgrade free to 4.1 and get many new features. If you do not yet have 4.0 and want the Ops system, there is a $29 charge.
To see what upgrades are available: after starting the program, choose Purchase Upgrade from the Help menu. Requirements. Programs run under Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. An internet connection is useful but not essential -- you need one to browse and download content from the web, but you can run without it when using content from your disk or DVD. Disk space: you need only about 30MB to install the program files, but will want more than that to download content from web or DVD -- around 1GB for the full content.
Note: Version 4.1 DVD's will be shipping around November 15, 2011. (Sorry we got this line wrong in the mailing!) License agreement. Our license agreement is displayed during install and reproduced in the Readme file. It says you are allowed to install the program on as many computers as you like, as long as you don't sell or give away the license key.
