Track plan:
I use Railmodeller Pro for track planning, and Train Layouts for iPad to view the plan on the go. The plan can also be found on https://modelrailwayideas.com.
In Rail Modeller pro, the plan is available in the Community layouts, the plan is called:
The 3rd Rail - 2025 Layout, same on Train Layouts for iPad.
On Model Railway ideas, follow this link: https://modelrailwayideas.com/The3rdR... .
The original plan that inspired this layout is also available in the same apps: look for "Anlage 10 - 0700 Gleisplanbuch"
PSD and JPG formats are also available as direct downloads, they are not updated as regularly as the railmodeller pro version.
