Hi Ruud your tutorials are really very instructif if i don't have you i will not used TC (is verry difficult to use train speed) anyway thank for your video Regards Francois
Hi.Thanks so much for your super detailed info on how to run trains with Traincontroller. Im now getting into the first steps of pc software to control my trains layout. I have an ESU Ecos but obviously there are only so much thing you can control ,and pc software is no doubt a all different world. I have a very important question- to me it is :LOL. For Ecos to detect each single different engine on the layout i would need to have the most advance Ecos detector ( not the standart ) and then ecos detector informs ,the control station , which train was where. Now this Traincontroller software - how do you wire / isolate track to let the computer know whats going on ( as Ecos with ecos detector was doing ) ? Do you still need those eco detector modules from ESU placed between the track and the Ecos command station ? Thanks
Hi. Before most : Love the tutorial, great english, and thank you so much for setting up a channel like this. Now, i have a question. Im about to move from my ECOS layout controling, to Traincontroller > ECos > layout. Should i set up blocks ( on the phisical track ) with Ecos detector Pro module ? I have te standart ecos detector but i will have to buy the most expensive block detector right ? It would be great if you could show a video on how to set up the connections for this block detecting.
I don't know the ECoS modules, I can't answer your question. I would say as long as the sensor signal; reaches the ECoS, which you can see on the detector window, then it will also be sent to the PC. You can download the TC demo and try it out.
Any form of detector will do as long as it is recognized by the ECOS it should be able to detect it via Traincontroller or whatever PC Software you are using. The only advantage with using a expensive ESU detector would be Railcom which would be able to identify a ESU decoder with Railcom. The PC can only track the movement of each train by watching where it is trying to send it and assuming when something arrives in that block that it is actually that train.
Thanks Ruud. Keith
