John Shankland was one of the people who implemented Dr. Bruce Chubb's Computer/Model Railroad Interface (C/MRI) on his layout. (One of the very few among 3-rail O scalers, I believe.) He did some innovative work with C/MRI and was very helpful to other members of the group. His last post to the group was in November of 2006. Although the details are foggy in my memory, I recall that he ran into a problem using TMCC with C/MRI. IIRC, when he turned on the TMCC signal (connected the base to the track), it caused glitches in the functioning of the C/MRI (which worked perfectly until he also tried to use TMCC). I may be wrong, but something is knocking around in my memory that he got discouraged from the incompatibility problems and not being able to find a workable solution.
