Looking for Dave Hikel

Trevize,

I've hooked up with him on February 10 via Skype.  He's been helping me running my trains with the RR&Co program.

I know from the past that sometimes he goes away and catching up on his emails when he returns.

Hi guys,

Here in Scottsdale AZ we have been using TCG with DCS engines and are trying to get the Lionel Legacy and TMCC component running on ProtoNet. The computer connections are all  in place but controlling a Lionel Legacy or TMCC is elusive for us.  Anyone able to help?

Thanks, 

Paul Boston and the P&P RR

I had an email from him last week.  Dave's fine, but VERY busy.

Thanks for the information Marty. It is an interesting read and food for thought. 

Having bought into Dave Hikel's system and Train Controller Gold we are, unfortunately, rather far along this road. Turnouts and track power controllers are all installed and working with TCG using WiFi and any web browser.  We can control the layout and any MTH DCS engine, but Lionel TMCC and Legacy engines do not have access through this system, though the controllers are tied to the system using Hikel's (MTH) ProtoNet connector. We lack only the piece of information that would allow the Lionel connection to be implemented.

He posted the excellent thread about the many and various Hudsons a week or so back as well. Probably busy like Pat mentioned above...

The Hudson tread was excellent, but was done by Ted Hikel.

We had good support and communication with Dave Hikel until about September 2014.  Since then, no response! Nada!

We would really like to complete the system in Phoenix and run Lionel Trains along with the MTH Trains.

Any help from anyone would be appreciated!

Yea Sept 2014 was the last I heard from him too!
