Welcome into the Rocrail Era

Rocrail Basic is free software

...for controlling model trains und runs natively((No need for Java runtime or any other interpreter.)) on the following platforms:

Linux (Intel & ARM64)
Apple macOS (Apple Silicon M1-M5, A18pro & Intel)
Windows (Intel & ARM64)
Raspberry Pi PiOS (ARMHF & ARM64)

Rocrail assumes all responsibilities for controlling a model railroad and their accessories. Trains can be either manually controlled or completely controlled by the software in automatic mode.
A mixed operation, i.e. controlling some trains manually and other trains in fully automatic mode is possible.

With Rocrail different applications for a model train control can be met

Simply as a Dispatcher Panel for manually operating an analog or digital train.
or continuous digital operations, semiautomatic, or based on schedules or Automatic as well as.
control of car systems, ambient lighting systems (weather, time of day simulation) and other accessories.

Various user interfaces to operate Rocrail are available

Rocview the standard user interface, installed with Rocrail and based on the wxWidgets library,
RocControl for iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch.
andRoc for Android based devices.
Rocweb WEB client for all (also mobile) devices.
WIO-Control ESP32/PicoW based WiFi throttle.

On a layout multiple instances of these user interfaces can be deployed, at the same time. The displays are automatically synchronized between all user interfaces.
In addition, commercially available or homemade hand controllers can also be used.

The user interface is available in many Languages.

Rocrail - Highlights

Besides the usual model railway control features, Rocrail also includes a number of special characteristics:

Immediate reaction to feature requests or error reports, from the developing team Forum
Exchange experiences in forum with direct contact to developers and users Forum
Freely definable Actions, which are triggered by configurable events and associations
With the use of scripting XMLScript; realize any specific functions and logic operations
During operation, locomotives learn in each block "Block Brake Timer" the optimal braking curve
Support for all major operating systems: Linux, Apple macOS, Microsoft Windows and Raspberry Pi
Client / server concept with integration of mobile hand held controllers
Rocweb a Browser-based client without any installation on any mobile devices and operating systems
Extensive support for common Command Stations, including DIY projects
Free choice of language of the graphical user interface (GUI). If necessary, these languages can be expanded
One can use **as many independent and different command stations simultaneously** as needed
Random route selection or automatic target search using drag & drop
Finder option allows automatic searching of routes and "home" location for locomotives
Train-mass simulation to realize a load-dependent acceleration performance
Schedule operation with multifarious configuration dependencies and time models
Support of Modular layout by dividing the track layout across multiple plans and clients
Block / routes permissions by parameters such as era, train length, engine type etc.
Priority and reservation system to avoid getting bogged down in random or automatic mode
Freely definable dynamic text output for the control of sound programs or external text displays
Weather simulation with real or model time support, for a broad range of different systems
Freely adjustable user defined symbols for the Layout themes, finished themes are available for many countries
Realistic switchboard function with start / finish button control
Fiddle-Yard, Turntable and Staging-Block control
Support Car-System with specially optimized functions
Integrated Digital Direct Central Station DCC232
