Hello from Ohio: Thank you for letting me join this forum. I have been a Rail Pro user for about 2 years, and have been looking for a forum/ user group since even before I purchased the system. I stumbled across this forum while viewing an advertisement on an on-line magazine.
I model O scale traction. This system is the Bentley of model railroad systems. In my opinion, Tim Ring is a genius for developing Rail Pro. In the 80's I lived across the street from a field that was used by the model airplane group. I would watch as they controlled their planes using radio control throttles, and wondered why model trains could not be controlled in the same manner........now we can!
Since I am a traction modeler, I don't need a lot of the sound functions, but can use a few, like the bells, air compressor, rail squeal etc. In the future, I will want to download different sounds, like the hum of traction motors as they accelerate/ decelerate.
I look forward to reading posts, and learning much more about the system.
