This demonstration shows how to recreate the Kato Unitrack H0 sample layout "Yard Job One" in RailModeller Pro using only a (mediocre) image from the catalog.

You can get the sample track set at www.katousa.com/HO/Unitrack/.

In this video, we also show how to

• Use a simple baseboard to outline an area in the drawing canvas the layout will occupy
• Import background images into a track plan
• Use the Auto-colorize assistant to quickly colorize tracks in the layout to be easily distinguishable
• Make use of built-in productivity boosters like the repeat function, drag-copy, and toggle the connected joint.

..as well as using various other handy functions built into our track planning app.

We will introduce a number of changes to our Community Layouts feature in the upcoming weeks.

In our ongoing effort to keep Community Layouts relevant to a majority of users we will step up our moderation efforts.
We will periodically ensure the community contains only layouts that had at least some user interaction within a couple of days.

As a consequence of a new European Union (EU) directive, namely the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (Directive (EU) 2019/790) we are liable for content uploaded by our users. Since we cannot guarantee all potential copyright infringements (e.g. use of company logos or other content) are handled automatically all layouts containing images will soon no longer be available to users in the EU.
