iTrain Description
Long gone are the days when model train enthusiasts had to physically control their miniature railroads and all annexes elements with the help of switches and simplistic control panels.
Nowadays, everything is done by computer, thanks to applications that enable you to control an incredible amount of parameters of your model railroads.
One such application is iTrain, a user-friendly software solution that makes it as simple as possible for you to fully control your small scale railroad.
Easy to use utility with a streamlined interface
Assuming Java is already installed on your computer, the application undergoes a typical and surprise free installation process. Upon first launching the utility, you are met by a streamlined main window, with a simplistic user interface and a well-organized layout.
You basically get the most useful controls right in front of you, namely on the toolbar, while the rest of them can be just as easily accessed via contextual menus or from the menubar.
Control all elements of your model railroad using your computer
This said, in terms of features, iTrain has almost everything covered, as it enables you to manually control locomotives. Therefore, you can control speed, direction, route and other relevant parameters with ease directly from the designated panels.
As an alternative, you can rely on the fully automatic mode. This way, you are able to dedicate extra attention to other elements that might require it more.
Furthermore, the app’s flexible switchboard makes it simple for you to control switches, decouplers, relays, signals, feedbacks, turnouts, and many more railroad-related objects.
Features a useful and all-encompassing documentation section
While the general layout makes everything seem easy to use, keep in mind that you can always rely on the tool’s hefty documentation to sort things out, if you need to.
Besides the basic information about how to operate the app, the documentation section also offers explications and definitions for almost every possible railroad element.
Makes the lives of model train enthusiasts a bit better
Taking all things into consideration, iTrain is an efficient application that makes it simple for you to control your model railroad and all adjacent elements. Despite the overall complexity of railroads, the app manages to keep things as straightforward and as simple as possible.
