Product Description:

iTrain offers an easy to use solution to control your model railroad with your computers, especially if you want to automate only parts of your layout and keep control of the rest yourself. For example automatic block control avoids collisions and you control which train is driving manually or fully automatically according to a selected route. Modern software techniques make it possible to run the program on all major computer operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and OpenSolaris. Client server architecture allows extra computers to be used as extra overviews or controllers. The switchboard is fully scalable with an optional layout overview for large layouts, and allows different tabs for different views of (parts of) the layout. It is not necessary to study for weeks to be able to use iTrain. Simply draw the layout and assign the signals and feedbacks to the blocks for automatic control of your block signals without providing difficult rules. Defining a route can be as simple as selecting the order of blocks, but more advanced options are also possible. In case you are using a modern system like the Central Station or ECoS, iTrain will import all loc, turnout and signal definitions so you can start even faster.

iTrain ReviewExcellent value - Version: 1.1.0, 7/5/2009 01:27AM PST

iTrain is a comprehensive but easy to use control program for model railways.
It gets better with each release and is written by an enthusiast who is also a professional computer programmer.

The manual is well written and the prompt response from the author to queries via both email or the dedicated forum for registered users is a real plus.

Users are encouraged to put forward their own suggestions for future features so there is an opportunity to be actively involved in the development.

iTrain has become as an essential part of my railway operation as the ECoS to which it seamlessly connects.

Hi folks,

This is really a great application.
Everything works fine with my CS1 reloaded. I can really recommend this application.
It is worth each cent...
