Long Term Prospects of RailPro

<< < (2/4) > >>

nodcc4me:
Add me to the list of satisfied customers. Dfischer, if you are unsure of whether or not to get a RailPro system, just try using a DCC controller, then try a RP controller. There is literally no comparison. Another benefit of RP is that it can be updated/upgraded instantly, at your home. There are exciting new features in the works as the folks at Ring Engineering work to make the system even better. As was stated above, if Ring had to exit the market for some reason, I would buy up as many modules as I could get, and if that were to happen, I would think someone else would probably pick up the company. The product is that good.

Considering that there is a relatively small dealer network, most of whom do not push RailPro, and the fact that Ring Engineering doesn't go to train shows other than Trainfest, the user base is growing. When folks see it and try it, they eventually buy it. I have converted three of my fellow club members. The main aversion I have experienced is from guys who have a lot of money invested in DCC equipped engines. That is really not a major consideration since RP locos can run on DCC power.

I have been a RailPro user since early 2012. My only regret was not buying it sooner. This was when there was only one sound.
I've spoken to Tim on numerous occasions and this company isn't going away. They have more exciting plans for the future.
So far 2 friends have converted  to RailPro and from there they have jumped in with both feet.
I've been so taken with this product that there is now 67 engines equipped with RailPro on the layout, and have been actively recording actual engine sounds with them under load. The sounds are amazing compared to even LOKsound I think.

William Brillinger:
Bruce,

Will you posting some of your recordings here to share?

I think you mentioned that you've been sending them to Ring Engineering for editing. I'm sure we have people here who can help process sounds like horns, clunks, and other non-primemover recordings.

Abiqua:
RailPro is an excellent group of products and they should financially grow as new users begin using their products. However if there is concern for long term viability, users should buy all products direct from RailPro (Ring) allowing them full profit from each transaction. Just another method to bolster their viability and longevity.

KPack:
Bruce - I can't wait to hear some of those recordings!!!  I'm glad you're able to get some.  Like Bill said members here would be happy to help edit sounds.  Prime mover files are best left to Ring at this point, but we'd be happy to help edit other recordings.

-Kevin
