As Stein says, the XTrkCad program is being updated continuously - I am a moderator on that group, and people are posting new track upgrades etc all the time - you will also find roling strock upgrades, and the runable file that I mostentioned above, includes 2 boxcab locos a 44 tonner and a 45 tonner that can be exported and used in your own layouts. There are also tutorials available which were originally on the layout party site (long discontinued but still available), to help make the learning curve easier - like all programs it has one or two idiosyncrasies, but the learning curve isn't particularly steep. there is also a very basic tutorial, written by me HERE , together with links to the Layout party tutorials
