In the first days of the month, I launched the new redesigned SCARM website, which now has modern look and comes with a lot of new and updated information and resources about the program. see it here:
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:
Online help & FAQ about SCARM layout software
Hope you will like the new SCARM site

IMPORTANT!
Several bugs were discovered in SCARM 0.9.26 related to the renaming of the layers and then save and restore of the already changed layer names. The patched version of the program was released today.
Please upgrade to
SCARM 0.9.27, which can be downloaded from
www.scarm.info to fix these problems.
See more about this bugfix update in the following blog post:

I am sorry if these bugs caused any problems and inconvenience in your work with SCARM. If you see another problems, please report them here or in SCARM Blog and I will try to fix them ASAP.

Here I want to present the first very detailed virtual locomotive models in SCARM, created by Ian Donohoe and shown in the SCARM blog here:

Below are two of them:
These are created with the object's interface of SCARM and are auto-scalable to the scale and gauge of the used tracks in the layout plan.
Download the loco library from the blog's post and use these nice models in your virtual SCARM layouts
