CTI: The Next Generation of Model Railroad Computer Control

The CTI system is a new approach to model railroading that makes controlling your layout fast, easy, and fun. With CTI, you can interface your entire model railroad to any IBM compatible computer. Tangled wires and overcrowded control panels are a thing of the past. You can now control every aspect of your layout automatically from a state-of-the-art control console, displayed in full color on your PC screen.

The CTI system transforms your personal computer into a sophisticated Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) facility, linked electronically to remote sites (called"Train Brains") located throughout your layout. CTI's software running on the PC communicates with these sites many times each second, to monitor and control the operation of your model railroad.

Despite its sophistication, the CTI system has been engineered to be remarkably easy to use. All hardware and software is included. With no electronics to build and no software to write, you can have your CTI system up and running in minutes.

All electrical connections simply plug right in. CTI interfaces directly to your PC's external serial port, so no changes to your computer are necessary. And using the CTI system requires no changes to your model railroad equipment.

We believe the CTI system represents the most flexible, the most user-friendly, and most affordable model railroad control system ever produced. And our users agree.



CTI: Experience the Power of Integrated Model Railroad Computer Control

Today's model railroader faces a hodge-podge of unrelated and incompatible electronic "solutions". There's a system for speed control, another for signaling, yet another to detect trains. Not to mention reversing loops, grade crossings, sound units, etc, etc, etc. The list goes on and on.

Now, through the flexibility of your PC, a single CTI system can perform all of these functions (and many more) at a mere fraction of the cost.

CTI is the first fully integrated solution to model railroad computer control. Whether your layout is DCC-based or conventional, your CTI system can tackle all of your railroad's control and sensing needs.



CTI: A Flexible, Easy-to-Use Control System ... for Today and Tomorrow

The CTI system is a modular approach to model railroad control, You'll buy only as much control capability as you need. Using CTI's flexible control modules, you create a control system that's perfect for your model railroad.

And as your railroad empire grows, your CTI system is ready to grow right along with it. Any number of control modules can be connected to your PC, providing unlimited control power. CTI's innovative network architecture has the bandwidth designed-in to address the needs of your layout today and tomorrow. And because it's programmable, the CTI system's flexibility ensures that it can never be outgrown.

But all of this technology is of little value if it's too hard to use. Ease-of-use is the key to a good control system. Unlike some systems, you won't need an electrical engineering degree to understand and use CTI. In fact, plugging in a simple modular phone cord is all it takes to install a module into the CTI network. CTI simply couldn't be any easier to use.

Installing CTI is a Snap

All of CTI's products come fully assembled and tested, and are backed by a full 2 year warrantee. With our 30-day no-questions-asked money back guarantee, you can try out the CTI system on your layout risk free. So experience the power of CTI computer control today. Your model railroading will never be the same.
