Why Trackplanner

Planning that feels easy

The software does the math in the background — you just lay track.

Start instantly, nothing to install

Open the browser, start planning — on PC or tablet. No download, no updates, no tech hassle.

Everything for your layout — easy & affordable

Your plan becomes a complete shopping list automatically — one click drops every part into your dealer's cart. No hunting, no forgetting, no over-buying.

Show your layout to anyone — with one link

One click, one link — forum, club or family see your plan instantly. No account needed.

Tracks snap together by themselves

You drag, the software snaps and calculates angle & position. Never type coordinates again.

Lay curves any way you like

The magic flex track bends into any shape — and warns before a curve gets too tight for your locos.

Don't build in mistakes at all

You see open ends and tight radii flagged in colour right away — no nasty surprise when you build.

The story behind it

Built by a 16-year-old in 2004. Rebuilt today for his kids.

What began as a teenage project — covered back then by Computer Bild and MIBA digital — becomes a modern tool. Over 20 years of model railway experience live in the software.

„Twenty years ago I built it because nothing like it existed. Today I rebuild it because my kids should use it — and because planning and ordering finally belong together.“ Georg Wächter, Gründer & Entwickler von Trackplanner — Georg Wächter, founder & developer
