With XtrkCad I have Atlas AND the other manufacturers track libraries available. If I need other track manufacturer libraries - particularly curved turnouts or any other scale/gauge besides HO and N, I fire up XtrkCad. The big drawback to the Atlas library/RTS is lack of curved turnouts. Often that is enough for my purposes, which is to conduct a trial fit of the sketched elements in the space I want to allow. RTS has a reduced learning curve but only uses Atlas track in its library. The next step is the software, and I use RTS or XtrkCad, both of which are FREE downloads. The first ideas are sketches with pencil - yes even on a napkin - or in my mind. I find that I don't use the software itself all that much in planning layouts.
I know there are quite a few Anyrail fan boys on this forum.
