I use SCARM, which you can download for free. Just Google it. It produces a parts list specific to the layout you’ve designed. You can select parts from all the manufacturers. Other benefits are that it calculates and shows the gradients, and it won’t allow track segments to join on the screen if they can’t be correctly assembled in reality. In other words it makes sure your radiuses are OK. As you develop your layout you can see a 3D version on the screen to make sure it all looks OK.

Worth a look anyway.

All the best…
