    If your going to use Loconet via the Digitrax system I assume you would need a RR- Circuits Locobuffer same as I use for JMRI, or a Digitrax USB Programmer / Computer Interface.

    Probably best to contact Big Bear.
    Shame it only runs under Windows as I use Linux, but I might download the free copy and re-boot my laptop into Windows just to have a look.

    Hi Ron

    As you uise anyrail, take a look at JMRI, as you can import the anyrail track plans into JMRI.

    Saw this the other day and wondered if you got this working Ron.

    I'm using manual control for points and JMRI to program CVs on my locos, but it got me interested and there appears to be a lot more systems around than I thought.
