Design your model railroad layout with Empire Express
Empire Express harnesses the ease of use and power of the Macintosh so you can quickly, easily, and accurately design your model railroad empire.
Designing a layout is as simple as dragging track and structures from the catalog palette to the plan window. Track pieces are automatically aligned to Create accurate, kink-free track connections. Flex track can be easily bent to create smooth curves which meet the user-selected minimum radius standard. The tool palette includes line, rectangle, circle, polygon, and text tools which you can use to draw the layout room, structures, and scenery.
Empire Express was designed specifically for the Macintosh and supports the standard Macintosh features such as copy and paste and drag and drop. In addition it also features multiple undo and redo.
Included in the Empire Express catalog are some of the most popular brands of track. See our catalog description for a complete list.
Easy to learn and easy to use
Empire Express uses the Macintosh conventions you are familiar with making it easy to learn. Empire Express has a simple and efficient set of tools and commands that makes it easy to design your layout.
Multiple undo and redo
If you change your mind or make a mistake, you can undo the changes you've made to your plan. If you decide you don’t want to Undo your action after all, you can use Redo. Make sure the layout design program you buy has Redo--not all do.
Previous Versions of Empire Express could undo only the last 25 operations. Now with version 2.0 the number of undos is essentially unlimited; it is limited only by the amount of computer memory available. In addition you can undo past document saves - saving documents no longer clears the available undos.
