The three most popular model railroad control software products today are
Railroad & Company® by Friewald Software,
Train Server/Computer Dispatcher PRO®
from KAM Industries, and JMRI® from the Java Model Railorad Interface project.
We've looked carefully at the software available to model railroaders, and find
these three products to truly be "la creme-de-la-creme". We are pleased to
announce that each of these excellent software packages provides full support
for CTI.
"RR&Co", "Train Server", and "JMRI" are all designed to work with CTI's
Acela
network bridge interface, so you'll also want to check out the features available on our Acela
board if you wish to use any of these three software products.
In addition to CTI, RR&Co supports virtually every popular DCC system, including
products from Arnold, EasyDCC, Lenz, Lionel, Marklin, North Coast, Ramfixx, Trix,
Wangrow, Zimo, and others, making it a great choice for users who wish to integrate
CTI's cost-effective discrete control and sensing capabilities with DCC operated trains.
Computer Dispatcher uses the same
state-of-the-art centralized traffic control (CTC) program used by numerous
class I and regional railroads. KAM Industries has licensed this software and
integrated it into their patented Train Server® software interface for use with
model railroads.
Actually a full-featured suite of software tools, KAM's software programs provide for
all aspects of manual control, layout automation, and dispatching.
In addition to CTI, KAM supports a wide variety of popular DCC systems, making it a great choice
for users who wish to integrate CTI's cost-effective discrete control and sensing capabilities
with DCC operated trains.
In addition to CTI, JMRI supports a wide variety of popular DCC systems, making it a great choice
for users who wish to integrate CTI's cost-effective discrete control and sensing capabilities
with DCC operated trains.
We believe RR&Co. to be the most
intuitive and easy-to-use model railroad control software on the market today.
RR&Co's well thought out and highly intuitive graphical user interface means
this software is very easy to learn and use, making it particularly attractive
to users without computer programming experience.
Model railroaders who wish to operate their layouts "just like the real thing"
should take a good look at KAM Industries' Computer Dispatcher PRO, because
quite frankly, it is the real thing.
JMRI, the Java Model Railroad Interface is a collaborative, open-source effort to develop a Java-based suite of tools for model railroad computer control.
You can use the JMRI toolset as the starting point for developing your open model railroad control applications,
or use their higher level applications suite idrectly. You can build control panels, set up signaling, configure operations and control your layout using PanelPro.
Going beyond the basics, you can use Logix to automate your layout's operation.
