    I used Scetchup to model a piece of track for an HO car track. I may still have a few examples. I did this to assist in designing new track for my stuff.

    I think Scetchup can export in dwg format.

    Checking now...

    EDIT: Yes you can import and export dfx and dwg files.

    EDIT2: BTW, there is a program called "Easy Cad". I know there are also some free cad programs, that are fairly powerful, but require some learning of the commands and utilities.
