I am happy to announce that the new SCARM v. 0.9.25 is ready! It comes with new figures and many new and updated track libraries. See details about it here:

SCARM Train Layout Software v.0.9.25

The new figures are horizontal and vertical cylinders and will allow drawing of objects, structures and rolling stock, like the small engine showed below:

Hope you will like the new version

Indian Rilways in SCARM

Thank you, Ken

I published one nice gallery in the blog with very detailed SCARM screenshots, containing virtual scenes from the Indian Railways:

Scenes From Indian Railways in SCARM

Here are just 3 of them:

These were created with the old v.0.9.24 without the cylinder figures. The new v. 0.9.25 will be able to produce even more realistic landscapes for those, who are interested to create rich virtual layouts in SCARM.

Resolving installation problems

IMPORTANT

Several users reported for a problem with the new SCARM 0.9.25 after update. This is probably due to corrupted download of the installation package. It seems that sometimes installer is able to run even if it is not downloaded correctly, but after that, the program crashes on startup. If you also experience such problems, follow the steps described in the link below:

Resolving SCARM Installation Issues

This should help for fixing of bad setup package downloads.

The new SCARM website is now online

In the beginning of November, I launched the new SCARM website, which now has modern look and responsive design and comes with a lot of new and updated information and resources about the program. Go and see it:

http://www.scarm.info

The site now works well not only on PCs, but also on tablets and smartphones too. Contents section is rewritten and optimized for easy navigation and access to the most important pages. The same is valid also for the documentation - it has new structure with many new and updated topics. See the new help page here:
