I just saw a zimo (DCC) demo of a layout with the track on the computer and dots representing the trains going round. I was impressed. <br /> <br />I'm one of many who is interested in computer run trains, full time (computer runs it all), part time (computer represents one or two operators supplementing human operators), or taking trains out of staging. I am having a tough time as there is little out there in the printed land to shed light on what is available, a rough idea of how it runs and how to plan for it. <br /> <br />MR needs to run "An Overview of Computer Run Layouts." I want to know what the owner uses in terms of hardwear and softwear, and computer interface goodies. I am coming across more people who are interested in computer operations, but don't have a clue as to where to start.
