Model Railroad Manager

Version 2.1

Gain control of your railroad empire.

Model Railroad Manager (MRRM) software by MTS Associates provides inventory, operations & maintenance, layout automation, and layout control panels for your model railroad empire. MRRM was created as a solution for the many data management aspects of owning and operating a modern model railroad system.

An introduction to Model RailRoad Manager's program suite is summarized in the following presentations:

• Inventory  - database of your railroad and its supporting components
• Operations - simulation of railroad business partner activity drives workloads for your crews
• Maintenance - manage bad orders and repair of trains as well as all other layout components

  You can review some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the above software and some samples of MRRM output if you are interested.

Features based on MRRM integration with the JMRI codebase are summarized in the following presentations. MRRM sofware primarily supports Digitrax products for signaling and transponding functions. MRRM turnout and occupancy sensor software could readily be enhanced to support other DCC manufacturers' products.

• Layout Automation  - sync MRRM, JMRI and layout turnout, signal, sensor and transponder status; create train scripts on MRRM which you can run on your layout via JMRI.
• Layout Control - create and operate dispatcher, fascii and smart soft throttle panels on MRRM driven displays

(This software was developed, mostly from 2002 through 2004, concurrently with the creation of my 1st layout. We are working on an update of this software as part of our current layout developments.)
