Xtrakcad, a freeware track drawing program that can be downloaded from here: http://www.xtrkcad.org/Wikka/HomePage
Btw - if you want to try it, be warned that the user interface is pretty idiosyncratic - there is definitely a threshold you have to get over to learn to use it well, but once you master it, it works pretty well - I especially like the option of adding cars and test running things to check on track placement.
I didn't initially get that that was a new design for meeting my criteria - I just assumed it was something that you had developed previously. Thanks again Stein!
My drawing was done in Cadrail - so I'm realistic about learning curves. It (Cadrail) is a very good CAD program, but is a little short on the pretty pre-packaged graphics side.
