Train automation - my painful journey
Posted by joe-daddy on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 11:56 PM

I am a computer guy, it is all I have ever been. DCC & the realism of today's QSI sound systems pulled me back into the hobby I left some 30 years ago. Read any write up on DCC in any magazine or on the web and real quick, you get this picture of the PC and DCC integrated, sort of a symphony of beauty and control. From the beginning, computer control has been central on my mind.

Ultimately, I evaluated four different products.

My criteria
My initial test suite was simple. I wanted to run a locomotive as a trolley.

The details of my experiences are detailed on my blog
