Rocrail Revision 15937

Model trains may be slowly dying out as a form of entertainment in the virtual age, but some enthusiasts have instead adapted and augmented their favorite hobby instead. With Rocrail, you could create even more complex tracks and control them easily.

The installation sequence for Rocrail is straightforward with no real effort required on the user's side. Using it is slightly more difficult, however. It employs a server and client that works via Internet protocols. It can be used on any program that's connected to the internet and the layout of your tracks. Do note that this program doesn't help you actually set up your track to be used - you'll need other programs for that.

To control your layout, you can use a wide range of controllers such as Marklin's 6051, Uhlenbrock Intellibox, Loconet, SRCP connections, and more. The program will allow you the freedom to configure the way you control your little locomotives. The program also lets you create multiple workspaces that includes all the files needed by the servers to control a layout, work with a modular layout, make use of the R2Rnet network for making trains travel from system to system, and more. 

That's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what you can do with Rocrail. All in all, it comes with a comprehensive suite of features that help you control a model railroad's layout manually or automatically. The advanced options will appeal to professional users while newcomers will find a fantastically diverse system that will let them explore freely.
