Any Railpro users in North Central Ohio
atsfguy:
Is there anyone in North Central Ohio who uses Railpro? I live in Mansfield, Ohio, and would appreciate seeing a working layout using Railpro.
Thanks.

Cecil,
Just curious as to why you need to see a “a working layout using RailPro.” Anyone with a Ring HC-2 controller or CI-1 and a locomotive or two with a ring modules installed (minimum investment of about $125.00) and access to a DCC HO layout would be the same thing except for the power supply.
I started with HO after a very long hiatus and had no qualms about jumping onto RailPro vs. the obsolete DCC technology. Someone on this site posted that the worst that could happen if RailPro went belly up is that you may eventually have to buy a DCC power supply and controller if you RailPro devices ever failed.

Hi, Tom. I am convinced Railpro is the best system available at this time but want to experience it myself prior to purchase. It sounds too good to be true so I want to see it in action in person. The old saw about “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t” comes to mind as I read about it.
I already have a dcc system but dislike all the wiring required. I am not as neat an electrician as Allan and many others and dislike spending loads of time running wire at my age. The layout that I will begin this winter will be my last so I want every advantage I can get. I want to purchase the best performing items I can find and afford, since I will probably be active for possibly eight more years. I will be 85 years of age at that point so I attach much importance to these selections.
Call it eccentricity if you want.
Dean:
Check your local area for train shows. There is a good possibility that someone will have a demonstration Railpro layout you can try out.
atsfguy:
Thanks, Dean, I have done so but missed a large show in Columbus by a week or so. Perhaps there will be one soon in Toledo or Cleveland.
Thanks to all who viewed or commented on my question, I appreciate all remarks.
Cecil
