Using Android Tablets for Model Railroad Operations Part 2

November 20th, 2017

I have just uploaded a new video to my YouTube channel:

This is Part 2 of a demonstration of the Android tablets I use for operating my Rochelle Intermodal layout using JMRI and Railroad & Co.

In this video I show you how to connect the Android tablets to JMRI and give a brief demonstration on using OperationsPro to run a yard switch job using the tablet.

Work session with Railroad & Co and trackwork

January 30th, 2016

Spent a lovely few hours in the train room working on my layout (adding trackwork for a new industry) and also working on my Railroad & Co automation. Managed to get my Amtrak train automated – will work nicely for operating sessions, running on an automated timetable in-between the real-life operators running their freight trains. Planning on having a Metra running on an automated schedule as well, both running between two stations. Follow my Facebook page Rochelle Intermodal for more updates.
