CI-1

<< < (3/3)

G8B4Life:
Moving to USB charging is a good idea indeed, though it could require a fair amount of reworking of the internals to accomplish depending on how it's all connected inside at the present time, plus USB only delivers 5v, which may be an issue if the HC actually needs 6v. This could add considerable time to the "production issue".

What does surprise me though is if the issue is the non availability of the 6v charger why a new one wasn't just sourced; it's not like 6v chargers are rare.

Anyway, back to topic, The CI-1 sounds like just the thing we've all been waiting for, and I'm also looking forward to getting one. Hopefully the software for it is a bit better / stable than what's used currently. And who knows, there might just be a new HC in my life as well depending on what Ring does. Now I'm just left wondering what the other unannounced product is........

A dispatcher is one of the jobs I want to include in my operations on my BNSF Black Swamp Division (The Swamp). Planning on running 42-50 trains when we run a full days schedule. Other times we will run a 1/2 days schedule. Plus, doing a lot of the HC-2 stuff on the computer is a major PLUS! Thanks for the update Kevin.

Jacob, I live in west central Ohio. The town is about split in the middle between Ft. Wayne, IN and Lima, OH. Good amount of operating layouts in the region. Operations changed my whole model railroading experience. I really enjoy it.

Ah, I'm an airline pilot and thought maybe you might be in one of our layover cities. I could easily fit an HC-2 and a single loco in my bag for an ops session. I used to work for an outfit out of Columbus but I don't make it there currently. ATL and LAX seem to be my second homes now. Maybe we need a user map? I'd be happy to host visiting RP users in the DFW area.
