Hi all,

Apologies if something like this has already been covered but I couldn't find anything in a search.

Does anyone know of any (preferably free) and easy to use software I could use to create Lever Frame style Signalbox Diagrams?

Any help is much appreciated,

Kit

paint is good and has done me (and some semi proffesionals) well provided you know all the relevant symbols and drawing standards. i dont know of any software specifically aimed at SBDs. i remember there was one model railway layout design software set that had a function allowing SBDs to be drawn but it is payware. cant remember the name though

IRSE (institute of railway signal engineers) would be able to help. i get most of the info from publications. also just studying existing box diagrams shows you how to present the information
