Workshop Rocrail - Innovative Model Railroad Control System

On March 13th 2021, another online meeting took place between the members of Fermodel Model Railroad Club, in order to maintain the Group's genesis in terms of sharing knowledge and maintaining a good relationship and good spirits between everyone.

This time, the topic addressed was related to the presentation of the features and added value of Rocrail (layout management, control and automation solution) and to assess the potential and impact of applying this solution on Fermodel Model Railroad Club headquarters' model train layout or even at further Fermodel model railroad exhibitions.

A significant number of Fermodel Model Railroad Club members already use this solution for quite a long time and the level of maturity and knowledge is quite high with their own layouts already managed by RocRail that allowed to introduce a high level of automation and new features in their layouts.

With this workshop and practical examples of these same layouts already automated with Rocrail, it was possible to "poison" more members of the Group to embrace this technology, certainly opening new horizons for the control and management of rail traffic in model train layouts, which many thought impossible!

Também foi preparado um tutorial (da autoria de Filipe Almeida), com um exemplo básico de automatização de um circuito oval, que colocamos à disposição de todos para download.
