RailModeller Express is the free edition of our app portfolio for planning model railroad and slot car layouts on macOS.
Discover the world of model train layout design with RailModeller Express, our complimentary macOS app that introduces you to the key features of RailModeller Pro.
While the Express Edition provides a taste of the app's capabilities, it comes with certain limitations on the size of layouts you can create, offering a more focused experience. This free version allows you to explore and evaluate the software, though some advanced functionalities are restricted.
RailModeller Express comes bundled with all the track libraries included in our Pro Edition enabling you to try out for yourself whether RailModeller Pro is a good fit for you and if it suits your needs - or whether you're perfectly happy with its little brother.
