| "I visit your website from time to time just to see what's new, and I'm stunned by
the rate of evolution of 3rd PlanIt. There are so many capabilities to look forward to
using! While layout design has always fascinated some to the point of never letting them
advance to creating a physical layout, I think you are, single-handedly, creating a whole
new sub-hobby of model railroading. My congratulations." Hilary Smith |

"Thanks for making this product the best MRR planning tool available and please
keep up the good work... your product is easy to use, fast to learn, and chock full of
features." Frank Mueller (Send message to Mr.

"The program is absolutely amazing; you have captured the detail of CAD and the
child train set of a good simulation. The way you have the side window set up with info
and objects works wonderfully." Walter Cullop

| "As an avid computer junkie and Beta tester of everything I REALLY like you
submitting your changes AS YOU MAKE THEM. I appreciate developers that keep the
users as up todate as possible. Getting a new version of 3rd Planit every week is
fantastic. Thanks for a great product and keep up the good work!" Ward M. Elder

| "By the way, I'm really satisfied with 3rd
Planit. It's
really helping me work out some layout design issues/problems, before I physically lay any
track. I really like the 3D views, and I also like the rate at which you're coming out
with updates to the product. I just downloaded the newest version last night, and I'm
looking forward to trying it. $100 is the most I've ever spent on personal software, but
so far it seems well spent! My wife was a little surprised that I spent $100 on software,
but I explained to her that it would probably prevent several hundred dollars worth of
mistakes or rebuilds on our layout. So far that seems to be true." Clarke M. Woodfin

| I am enjoying using your program. I experiment with so many changes,
try different ideas that it may be a while until I am finished with the
layout design. Thank's to your program I have already avoided several
mistakes, and found some good features to add to the design. keep up you
efforts, I enjoy the fruits of your labor. Tom Ghan |
| I want to take some time to complement you on version 3 of 3rd PlanIt.
I have been using it for quite some time, and only recently started to
read the manual. I found the chapter on terrain contouring very
enlightening, especially knowing that a contour line does not need to be
a level elevation, as found on a topo map. Knowing that has made terrain
_much_ easier! The manual is well written and contains many helpful
hints. I like the spiral binding, since it allows me to lay the manual
flat, right next to my machine. Jonathan W Miner (Send

| After testing several CAD programs for model railroads, I bought 3rd
PlanIt. I have not been disappointed in my purchase. The ability to run
trains in 3D and to view the layout in 3D is more important and
beneficial than I thought. If I can do this, anybody can. 3rd PlanIt is
a great product, it can benefit everybody in the hobby. I highly
recommend the software. Jim Switzer (Send

| I ordered 3rd PlanIt almost two months ago and have used it to draw
the existing portions of my 19' by 22' N-scale layout. It has worked
well and I'm very pleased. What I'm writing about today concerns that software. This past
weekend my home layout was "on tour" for the South East Region
Convention of the NMRA in Huntsville, Alabama. I had about 30 to 35
guests visit the layout. Part of the tour was an explanation of how I
used 3rd PlanIt to assist in the construction of my layout. I included
several drawings, both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional, as part of an
orientation before the guests went into the layout room. Several of the
visitors commented that, "It looks just like the software said it
would." I'm pleased with your product and recommended it to 30 to 35 serious
modelers. Hope you see an increase in sales from Alabama, Georgia,
Tennessee, and Mississippi. Freddie G. Smith |
| I enjoy designing in 3rd PlanIt so much I may never get around to
having to build a real layout. I probably push your program harder than
you ever imagined. It's by far and away the premier program available.
If you ever need a testimonial, I'd be glad to give you one. Ray
