last weekend was not a good one I lost a PS3 board in one engine and a PS2 5v board in another. I have sent them to be looked at and maybe they can be repaired.
Today however was a good Day below are some videos. 7 trains controlled from 1 screen
My layout is no where near Prototypical it is a swap meet garage sale special a little of this and a little of that. However the enjoyment I get is off the chart
Enjoy Henry

I hope your locomotives can be repaired, Nice layout and super action on multiple levels. What is the screen you show?
Very cool. If you want to run a lot of trains- this is the place to go.
I like the Lucite dowels you used for the various levels too.

Very nice - A lot of action in a terrific around the room layout!

Watch all of his videos, program is free but you have to buy and put together the remote. I like it better than MTH WIFI and a lot cheaper you only need 1. I have 2 TIU's and 7 AIU's with one remote AWESOME

Henry, your layout looks great. I'll be posting an update soon that gives the option of turning off the annoying bell and horn when you start an engine in motion.

Love the Horn, just not the bell
Absolutely fantastic layout, Henry! As a fellow "garage sale" train operator, your videos brought me great joy.
I'm also a gadget freak, I may have to check out the program you're using.
All in all, nice job!
Henry's layout is pretty impressive so I took the separate videos that he made and combined them into one.
It's on my YouTube page:

along with other videos about my RTC program.
Nowhere near prototypical-maybe not, But over the top for loads of fun and moving trains- Definitely!!!!! Wow! That's nice, it keeps your attention with all the trains going at once!
The videos only show 7 trains but a couple of weeks ago I got 9 running and that was a hand full. 9 is all my control system will handle I was pulling 9 amps in 2 of my zones so 1 more engine will pop the breakers. I am running lionel 180 (8). With 2 TIU's the RTC has no problem running in super mode. With out a doubt when running this many trains in my opinion this is the best program to use. I could control all 9 from one screen on my laptop. Mark 👍
Thanks for all the comments.
