Model trains and RC modeling in general have grown tremendously in the latest decades, and there’s no wonder that transitioning some of the governing aspects of such endeavors has meant implementing software solutions for controlling and performing tweaks.

Train modeling is no stranger to the complexity of the phenomenon, and Rocrail is an open-source app that was designed specifically in order to tackle such requirements. It will allow you to manage train models, establish a wagon database, and control them from either single or multiple PCs, and in conjuncture with a wide range of controllers.

Being a train model fanatic myself, I was impressed to say the least, when I first got my chance to work with Rocrail. Not only does its design account for all the intricacies involved in train model rail network, but it does so elegantly and in an efficient manner.

Starting from the clear overview offered by the loaded rail network schematics, and all the way down to the management of the individual locomotives, and determining the preferred controller parameter values, the entire process is detailed enough to satisfy even the most avid train model aficionados.

Each of the added locomotives features an impressive data sheet, which features parameters and corresponding values that can be adjusted extensively, in order to ensure a detailed take on the whole experience.

More so, the rail network itself can also be tweaked, and a multitude of elements and parameters can be addressed, such as tracing, monitoring, calculation, and more.

This open-source software that addresses model train control and rail network management offers a very comprehensive set of tools for adjusting all the details of the individual locomotives and wagons, as well as those of the rail network itself, to some of the most stringent requirements.
