Spend a nice day outside of Milwaukee at the annual Trainfest. This event bills itself as having the most layouts on display filling a 4 football field space. Of the 59 layouts I found 1 RailPro user. I want to thank Marv from the Wisconsin and Michigan RR Club who I had a nice but hard to hear discussion. Watching the trains run the operator (Marv)walked next to me and I noticed his controller was RailPro. He loves the sounds and since I don’t have any RailPro sound running yet, I listened. He told me what to listen for and said try that at Soundtraxx or some of the others. Well Soundtraxx was there so I went and listened, IMO RailPro sounds were better. Almost as good at Locsound both at the Locsound booth and the MRH booth where I tried out the Proto Throttle. Loved it.
If any of you Adriano junkies could figure a way to incorporate that throttle into RailPro, what a coup that would be. I tried quite a few command systems today ( the new Locsound system among them) and I tell you the ease of use of RailPro has me again convinced that I picked the correct system for me.

Since the Protothrottle is open source, Ring could easily make an adapter for it. I think if anyone is interested in that, they should bring the PT to his attention. I had the pleasure of trying one at Joe Atkinson's place earlier this year and it was a great experience.

Thanks for your take on the different sound qualities. Ken

Wow is Joe Atkinson finally upgrading his DCC? About time. To bad he didn't go RailPro but since he just changed out to LocSound I guess that won't happen.
