I have seen mention of a model railway computer control system called Z1.

I can't find any mention of this on this Forum?
Advise please as to what this is and what are its features and capabilities?

What DCC control systems will it work with?
I am working in 00 gauge with an NCE controller.

Many thanks

You guys in the old country are probably already completely up to speed with this railway, but for those of you who are not, just check out the their YouTube channel.

These guys have taken on a massive project, but to make sure everything works, they have professional procedures in place to ensure everything passes through...

Tallawong to Chatswood trip. Come for a ride on the new Sydney Metro Transport System as we take 'front seat'..

Fully automated metro trains. They still have manual driver controls under a panel at each end.

There was no public 'crush' as like those who rode on Day 1 - Sunday, 26/05/2019..!!

If you have, what stepper motor did you use and how did you mount it? Direct or via a gear train/gearbox?

This series of posts will cover the setting up of DecoderPro, and configuring loco decoders, a managing your loco roster.

I've come across the software, and is supposed to be easier to program automation than JMRI - easier learning curve.

Just wondering if anyone had tried it - price is right, free unless you want to make a donation.

It's been a disasterous start on JMRI for me as I brought up all the bits and bobs needed to start programming my loco's and running them in on the rolling road only to discover that I had brought the wrong power pack up with me.

So, ...... I need to wait until I get back home now but I will get it cracking. I'll try doing my first batch over Friday night possibly and if all is well then I will start a programme of cataloging my loco's.

I don't know If I can still go into the...
