Trains can be either manually controlled or completely controlled by the software in automatic mode. Rocrail assumes all responsibilities for controlling a model railroad and its accessories. At least until I get to the point of building a physical CTC machine.Rocrail is free software for controlling model trains for Windows PC operating systems. So, I am quite willing to give RocRail a try, although I may end up writing my own VB program to be my virtual CTC panel, driving my homemade control system which is loosely based on CMRI using Arduinos. It's just a lot less intuitive (JMRI) when you get to that level - and I say this for someone who has been writing computer programs since I was 11 years old, back in 1977 when the TRS-80 came out. Everything was the same, in fact, except the software - same Locoobuffer interface, same laptop computer I was trying to use JMRI on. And same hardware - no false block detections. Well, one weekend I went ove,r he had downloaded RR&Co and in a week had the trolley line automated like he wanted - me the computer guy couldn't get it working in JMRI but he, a lawyer, got it working in RR&Co. And still it never reall worked - spurious occupancy sensing was the biggest problem, and it's always bneen blamed on the Digitrax hardware. I could never get the script to work, and making a mistake in drawing the track plan meant I had to pretty much just start all over, erasing back to my mistake in block numbering and then finishing it caused all sorts of weird problems. I guess I lost some faith in JMRI when I tried to help a friend automate a trolley loop on his layout with it. It seems a lot easier to do this via RocRail than with JMRI. Possibly my other idea of a small Bluetooth add-on to any smartphone so you have the touch screen to turn functions on/off or select a loco, but an actual knob to run to control the train. The HTML interface is allowing me to experiment with my idea of a simple universal throttle using an Arduino. are intriquing to me because it's not written in Java, and writing scripts for it doesn't need Jython which if it isn't the world's worst scripting langues is in a close race for it. Their panel and also their simple HTML web interface for smartphones etc. I am giving it a shot, at least as far as using the virtual CTC panel portion - I don't think their decoder programming facilities are as good as JMRI (but I rarely use JMRO for that - I use all the same decoders so it's not hard to memorize the settings I use for all locos).
