no one has a cd to buy that has a track design. windows has a paint program this is one I did . you can also buy grid paper and draw it out to fit your size of track

Google Sketchup. The learning curve is steep.

SolidWorks...but I do CAD for a living. Should be able to do something similar in Google Sketchup.

I used Sketchup to design my track at home. Yes it takes a bit of time to learn but I don't think it's that hard to to use.
