SCARM was completely free for use for more than 7 years before moving to v.1.0 Milestone earlier this year. And even now, it is 100% free to use within the limit of
100 tracks per project.
However, this tread is not for the program, but for the track plans and layouts, created with it.
Almost all plans listed above are sent to me by the users of the program and are free for review and use. Some are ready for construction and some are actually already built. You can download them in the unregistered (free) version of SCARM and then open, review in both 2D and 3D, get parts list, print, export, take 3D snapshots, simulate train running with the free
Model Trains Simulator - Starter Edition and even make small modifications (using the tracks already placed on the drawing plot)
And you do not need to pay anything for that

This is almost constant advertising on this forum since it was first introduced.
No, this is only a thread for track plans and layout designs made in SCARM. You can just read the descriptions and watch the pictures or just use the plans for inspiration to create your own layout without even needed to download the software or open the projects in it. But if you want, you can do it - each plan can be opened and carefully reviewed in the free version of SCARM and that does not cost anything.
See below 3 more projects, added recently to the track plans database:
The “Think Big” Layout Design of Jan in HO (1/87)
The O-gauge Layout of Joe
Marklin HO C-track plan 260x180cm

See here 3 more layouts, added to the SCARM database in the autumn.
Østbanegården/Østerport Station in HO Scale
This layout represents Østerport station in Denmark from Ep. III / Transition era, before the depot burned down in the late 60’s. It is created by Frankie Christians, who is a Danish engine driver and has been driving trains in and out that station since 1986
New Middletown & Stony Point Model Railroad in N scale
This is U-shaped display layout with double main line and modular design for easy disassembling and transportation, created and built by Dwight Sturtevant.
Northumberton Railway Layout in OO Scale
And this is L-shaped layout design in OO scale (same gauge as HO), featuring small train station on a main line with many tunnels and bridges. The layout is created by Clive Poole and is already under construction.
Hope you will like these and will draw inspiration for your own layouts and track plans

Many new projects were added to the database since my last update here, so lets see some of them
That Famous 4x8 (And a Bit More) in HO Scale
Compact HO scale layout design featuring single line which passes via small station with sidings and small town with factory and dairy plant.
Small Track Plan with Folded Line in TT Scale
For the fans of TT scale (they are small in number, but very devoted
) - compact track plan featuring fictional scene with single folded line and a small station. The layout allows longer running time for both passenger and freight trains as well as some shunting/switching operations in the station.
JNR Kansai Division - Japanese N-scale Layout
Compact N scale layout under construction, featuring double oval main line and a branch with freight siding, terminus passenger station and turntable with roundhouse in the center area.
The Attic Layout of Jonathon in OO Scale
And finally, one nice around-the-walls attic layout project in OO gauge, featuring double two-way main line with several industrial branches and yards. The track plan is suitable for continuous running of up to two trains on the main line as well as for many shunting/switching operations in the branches.
Hope you will enjoy all these

Here are some more projects and designs in various scales, added to the layout database:

Medium-sized HO-scale corner layout design with single main line passing around a small town with car cinema near the sea coast.
LEGO Train Layout in the Kids Room

Very interesting project for a N-scale layout built into a dinning table and covered with glass. The track plan features two oval lines on two levels, connected with diagonal line which crosses a small town.
