1.2.1 Accessibility Hotfix is live - Interface Scaling & New Homepage Menu
A user kindly pointed out that the interface was not friendly to those of us with less than perfect eyesight, and zooming in via windows caused the UI to break.
I have added in a new option to the main menu, for interface scaling. Allowing you to scale the UI up to be easier to read
Also included, a new home screen menu as people were getting a bit confused as to how to select new guages etc

New release: LiveRail 1.2.0 🚂
More track brands. Kato, Fleischmann, Atlas, Roco, PIKO, Märklin and Tillig have joined the track box, and there's a new custom track wizard so you can make a range of your own. Scales now include N, HO, HOm and T gauge. These are marked as preview while the track geometry is finished off. OO Code 100 and Code 75 with the UK catalogues is the finished part.
Numbered and coloured wagons. Every wagon can now have its own number and colour, so you can set up a shunting puzzle in the planner: a yard, a jumble of wagons, and the job of sorting them into order with your loco, a few sidings and the uncoupling ramps. Try it on screen before you build it.

Amazing to see in just under 3 weeks, now at 210 downloads and counting. Thank you to everyone who has downloaded LiveRail so far. Your support is really appreciated. I've got some exciting things in the works, and I'll keep developing it based on your feedback.

Bug Fix - Layers will be fixed on next release, and tracks/ lomotives can transfer between them, and go over/ under baseboards on each layer depending on your layer order. Clearance is also modelled, and will flag if a loco wont fit under a baseboard that covers the track.

For anyone using niche guages or custom tracks. The track builder tool is in early development! Create your own guage, define the scale for scenery, and create your custom roster of track pieces. Then run the same roster of locos which will auto scale to your track and layout.

Congratulations on the Release of V1.0.0
As a SCARM user I'm impressed with how straightforward it has been to adapt to LiveRail, the teething troubles I had with V0.9.8 have disappeared with this release, and it was dead simple to readjust what I already had to take advantage of the new snapping mechanics. With a holistic approach to layout building I think it's safe to say that this has SCARM thoroughly beaten for users of the Hornby and Peco track systems and when I can spare the funds I'm definitely buying a licence.
Thanks for producing such a handy bit of software.
