Hi everyone...
Just joined the other day and wanted to say hello. My father was a huge model railroader for years (got NMRA master modeller in 1980) and I was always in tow at the conventions until I "lost interest" in my early teens (well, more like my "interest" was diverted when I hit high school ). Anyway, he passed away this past summer and spending some time in his train room has brought a lot of great memories back. Plus a newly built house with a virgin basement doesn't hurt the situation. So I've decided to get back into it.
I have a question regarding computer controlled DCC. I am a electronics and computer geek and decided to go head-long into DCC with a fully computer controlled system - it is based on the TMWDCC system. I am currently using their DOS based control software (which is quite good) and plan on writing a windows version for my own setup. Did anyone else do something similar to this, or are computer-connected people mostly using a DCC system with an interface port? Any problems with doing it this way?
