You can run different systems simultaneously on different serial or USB ports. This increases<br />

the maximum number of trains, turnouts, signals <strong>and</strong> feedback indicators that<br />

can be operated. If your favorite digital system is not able to report the state of feedback<br />

sensors, then you are able to enlarge this system with a second system that is able to do<br />

this.<br />

<strong>TrainController</strong> also supports an offline mode that allows trial operation without a<br />

connection to a real model railroad. Up to twelve digital <strong>and</strong> control systems can be<br />

connected simultaneously.<br />

For each digital system additional information is provided that further explains the use<br />

of the particular system with <strong>TrainController</strong>. This information can be found by<br />

opening the help menu of <strong>TrainController</strong> <strong>and</strong> entering the name of the digital system<br />

or the name of the manufacturer as search key.<br />

Modes of Train Operation<br />

With <strong>TrainController</strong> it is possible to run digitally equipped engines as well as conventional<br />

engines that don’t have digital decoders. The operation of conventional engines<br />

is done with stationary block decoders; i.e. decoders or computer controlled throttles<br />

that are mounted at fixed positions on your model railroad rather than in each engine.<br />

This feature is useful if:<br />

• you have a large collection of engines <strong>and</strong> not all are digitally upgraded.<br />

• you have a conventional - i.e. non-digital - operated model railroad <strong>and</strong> want to control<br />

your layout with your computer without installing a digital decoder in each engine<br />

first.<br />

• the models of your engines are very small <strong>and</strong> the decoders do not fit into the engines<br />

(e.g. when you run Z scale).<br />
