Welcome Patrick.
RailPro is certainly still a viable system. You don't see a whole lot online about RP because in the mainstream hobby RailPro seems to be a dirty word "because it's not DCC and it's propriety". Most of us with RP just brush that off while laughing at the same DCC folk who then suggest you need to standardise on one brand of decoder to make your fleet work properly together because "proprietary features".
As far as I know, everyone here still likes the system though a couple of us are less enthralled than we used to be.

Howdy Patrick!
I started using RailPro ~5 years ago and haven't looked back. I'm in the construction mode of my double-deck layout and only have five locos up and running with RP to this point. I have numerous friends with layouts that utilize various OEM DCC systems. I've seen no reason to switch. I'm happy!

Awesome - That is fantastic ! Thanks for the welcome.
I was buried deep into research for Digitrax System, but was not thrilled with how fussy dcc programming is, loconet, jmri, all the extra boxes etc ... track cleaning. Nice when it works, but I wasn't convinced to pull the trigger.
I like RP for the simpleness, speed control with MU's and not have to speed match. That is absolutely beautiful.
Super - can't wait to get up and going now. Look forward to getting into this.
