A demonstration of using a new bit of software and a Hornby Elite to drive your model railway, including using the RailDriver.

Apologies for the low quality and poor camera operation!

What if your on a mac? We're not such a minority any more.

[UKDccRail]

@Marillionmad You might be able to make it work using "mono" the .NET Framework for unix / mac environments. I don't have a mac though so I can't test it, but once I get to beta stage i'll be happy for someone to give it a whirl and see what does / doesn't work :)

will it work with bachmann

[UKDccRail]

@TrainMaster11234 No, bachmann do not offer a computer interface on their products.

When will this be realesed, will it work on laptop?

[UKDccRail]

@Modelrailfan Yes, it's largely being developed on a laptop these days.

[Synthematix]

@Marillionmad obviously they are

[RC4LIF3]

@Marillionmad same hope they make a mac version...

@UKDccRail

I'll let you know when I have the Elite and a decent run of track set up at my Dad's place, if you don't need a beta tester in a hurry.

I have a MacBook with both OSX and Win7 installed.

Also have SPROG II if there's any testing that you'd like done there.

Of course, all this is interfering with running Railworks... which is how I came to buy rhe Raildriver... :)

WOW! Who made that? I love it!

[UKDccRail]

If those trains have the same address then yes. Alternatively you can open as many throttles as you like on the screen and control one train on each.

[thethehoosiers]

can you run two or more trains on the same throttle
