In Response To: Thanks all, I now have a plan. (Reg Lake)

: Thanks Mike, and also to Mike, Bryan, Mick, Paul, and Prasad.
: I really appreciate the collective wisdom from some the best on this board.

: I will move forward in a couple of directions with this new info. My computer
: skills do not go much beyond email and this board, well with a few
: exceptions. So my plan is to make some reduced copies of what I have and
: make a model. While at Kinkos I will query about the possibility of
: scanning the drawings to create a file.

: Anything that gets corrected on the model can be enlarged to improve the same
: station on the master plan. I like the tips from you and Mick to establish
: minimal stations, (ends and middle). I can then observe fairness as the
: additional stations get added.

: I can see how all this would be easier with a little Delft or Freeship
: knowledge and I can see that will be in my near future but not now. Does
: it make sense to learn Freeship and then move into Delft, or should I
: purchase Delft immediately?

: This project is with the local tribe and I am already learning much more than
: I can ever contribute.

: Thanks to all for the priceless input. I will post progress updates.

: Best,

: Reg

Hi Reg,
I'd go for the FreeShip first and see how you like it.

Good luck with the project.
