Sorry if I am missing something obvious, but where can I download the software?
Not sure it's released yet.
Oh...I was getting pretty excited to try it!
Thanks MartyE, that looks very interesting. I am getting excited along with cjack!
Dave or I will post a link as soon as it's available on the Lionel website.
Looked like it was running under Windows 7. I assume it runs under Windows 10.
Looks cool and very useful.

Yes it will. I beta tested on Windows 10.

Way above my level of enjoyment but if that’s what the younger generation wants then looks like a winner.
2+ years ago I started a java version of a monitor like lcs tool. It did work in its limited fashion and I could even send a few commands that I'd hard coded. I believe I put a simple gui together to blow the horn or something on one of my diesels. And ... it has sat ever since gathering dust. Anyone have any interest in it?

I'm 55, and I think it's wonderful

Is this something we should expect to be up sooner...or later?
Sooner.
Just watched the video! This is one heck of a marketing tool. If I had money in the bank I would trade all of my TMCC devices in for the LCS variety. Oh Check that, if the BPC2 had the same capability as the TMCC BPC, I would trade them in a heartbeat.
Now that I can configure the WiFi module to use my custom network and password I might get one. Even better if a Mac version of the software comes out. Good job for getting this out Lionel. Perhaps as you expand it you can add some automation features to it, setting train speeds and such, like super expanded recordings.
Hey Rudy,
Anything new on the Homefront as to when this utility will be available?

Is the Monitoring SW available yet??
I have searched the Lionel website and not found it; but it won't be the first time I missed something on the site...
I haven't come across it yet either. @Dave Olson was going to get it up on the website ASAP.
Thanks Marty; posting it up is probably not at the top of their job stack... We'll (or me) will just have to be patient...
Does anyone know if this software was ever released? I can’t figure out where to download. I sent an email to Lionel with a link to YouTube video and their customer service has no idea what I’m talking about. Thanks
Yes it was. Marty posts a number of links in a thread that has been saved in the TMCC, Legacy, ERR section of this forum. The thread does contain a link to the software but I did not click on it to see if it remains active

Your email bounced back. Email me at the address in my profile. I don't want to post the file here due to possible copyright issues.

Hello Marty,
A year or so ago I had to rebuild my computer that I use on my layout. I was running Windows 11 and then Microsoft informed me my laptop was no longer certified for 11 and I needed to revert to 10. Needless to say, I lost this utility along the way.. Could you send it to me?
Here you go.

Thank you GRJ. I will install it when I get home on Thursday.
