I am brand new to the O Gauge Railroading On-Line Forum and I am looking for some type of interface that will allow control of my trains from a remote location via the internet.
The reason behind this interest is that my grandkids live in California while I live in Idaho. They love operating my layout when visiting but I am looking for a way they can operate the layout from their home via a computer or mobile device.
I have DCS, TMCC, and DCS Wi-fi installed and working on the layout. I currently use DCS Wi-fi to run the trains most of the time.
I will soon have a Wi-Fi enabled camera that allows private viewing of the entire layout via the internet.
My goal is find and install a train control interface where the user can view the layout on one device (computer or mobile device - this is already in the installation phase) and then control the layout operation via another computer or mobile device while at their home.
If anyone has a solution, idea, or product that will work in the environment described, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks much, Idaho-Jim
