The built-in model railway library contains over 10,000 track plans and items to incorporate into designs.

AnyRail's key features allow users to:

• Design and visualize model train layouts with custom track plans, landscapes, and structures
• Test operational feasibility by assigning routes and simulating trains running on the layout
• Build IT systems for rail transport planning and simulation
• Create animated train videos by assigning rolling stock and recording simulated runs
• Import real world data to plan transit layouts
• Auto-generate layout variations based on design parameters
• Print customizable plans and elevation drawings
• Share and export designs to various graphic formats or DCC software

The software runs on Windows platforms. AnyRail offers a user-friendly graphical interface for rapid design iterations. Combined with powerful visualization and operations simulation capabilities, it is considered an ideal solution for modelers, rail enthusiasts, and professionals to design, plan, and visualize railroad systems.
