Now that I finally have most of the parts I need to start building Talheim station, I'm longing for making some progress there, build some scenery, and take a break on the topic of computer control, and ripping my hair out out. Most of the basic electrical and track work is done. There's still quite a bit of work left to do in staging, though it's details. However, doing this on the naked staging tracks and ramps that will be hidden later is not exactly satisfying.

Even for the relatively short time I had with the few locomotives I converted so far, the experience of actually driving a train over a piece of track independently from everything else that's going on around it has been very positive. Running trains digitally is a given for me.

This is naturally easier if they don't have to fire up a computer and restricted themselves to the visible areas (and the connecting tunnels, of course), and not necessarily venture into the dungeons of staging. Turn on the control station, pick a locomotive with a train and drive it. However, I also want my kids to be able to just play with the railroad. There are several parts (especially tunnels) where feedback sensors make sense, so I can display track occupancy somewhere. There are parts of my layout where automated control makes sense, especially the hidden staging area. Be it the UI (jmri), or communication with the Intellibox (srcpd, jmri, rocrail), or (in)stability of the program (rocrail, srcpd), or complexity of figuring out how this is even supposed to work (jmri).Įspecially since I don't want to do everything on a computer screen. Over the last few weeks I spent several evenings trying out various free Linux programs for controlling a model railroad (srcpd/spdrs60, jmri, rocrail), and all of them leave something to be desired. I don't want to program a computer and debug all the little problems that pop up when you make things complicated. I want to build and run my model railroad.

Zimo MSTAPG decoder test board - for MS large scale decoders (connections for MS950, MS955 and MS990, as well as wires, and Plux 12/16/22)ĭual speakers to support testing of dual-output decoders. Will work with most decoders including MX. Zimo MSTAPK decoder test board - for MS small scale decoders (connections for 21pin, 8pin, 6pin, wires, Plux 12/16/22, Next18)

#ROCRAIL WITH JMRI FULL VERSION#
Zimo MXTAPV decoder test board - full version (connections for MTC 21pin, 8pin, 6pin, wires, Plux 12/16/22, Next18 + large scale)
#ROCRAIL WITH JMRI UPDATE#
This is the device required if you want to update firmware on Zimo decoders, or load you own sound projects to Zimo sound decoders. Supplied WITHOUT a power supply (suggest 16V DC 1A or more) Zimo MXULF-A programmer, controller and decoder updater. SPROG Nano USB/DCC computer interface (connect to your existing DCC booster, no additional PSU required) SPROG 3 USB/DCC computer interface, with USB cable (needs PSU >= 15V 2A) SPROG II USB/DCC computer interface, with USB cable (needs PSU >= 15V/1.2A)

SPROGs are compact, low-cost solutions for getting your computer connected to your track, ideal for programming CVs and testing, but SPROG3 can even be used for running larger layouts. Quick to start and simple to use - this is our recommended controller to go with your DR5000 command station. Roco Wifi Maus connects to Roco Z21 base station or DigiKeijs DR5000 (in Z21 mode).
#ROCRAIL WITH JMRI SOFTWARE#
Works with Roco Z21 App and all well-known train controller software (RocRail, JMRI, iTrain etc). Software + DigiKeijs DR5000 command station inc 3.3A 18V PSU (good for OO and small O gauge layouts - add a booster for larger layouts)ĭigiKeijs DR5000-ADJ command station - most connectable DCC central station available including built-in LAN, USB and WiFi, with 3.3A 18V PSU (good for OO primarily, also ok for small O gauge - consider booster for larger layouts). Software + SPROG 3 + DigiKeijs 3.3A 18V PSU
#ROCRAIL WITH JMRI UPGRADE#
NOTE: Tweak and Drive software is in final stages of BETA - your purchase will entitle you to upgrade to further beta releases as well as the final launched edition (anticipated summer 2019). Single PC license, electronic download, key supplied after purchase. PC Software to manage, tune and drive your decoders, with emphasis on Zimo sound decoders.
