Thanks for that Randall. I will have a play when I get home.
As regards the ¡®Hardware¡¯ I do all my development work on my iMac which can run "Windows" using the program ¡°Parallels¡±. I also have a couple of the older iPad2¡¯s and a newer iPad3 that I can use.
Since JMRI is a ¡°Windows¡± based program I have an old Laptop that I can reformat and install a 64-Bit "Windows10 Home Edition¡± version onto to act as the Base Station to hold and run the JMRI program. Can you please explain further what you mean by the "limitations of the hardware¡±, in this instance? Is this a ¡¯Serial¡¯ connection versus the ¡®USB¡¯ connection or perhaps available memory or the number of ¡®Ports' that can be used?
I would like to wirelessly connect all of the iPads to the Base Station with the option to add to this number as the layout continues to grow. (It looks like there will be a maximum of 9 Tablets/Control Positions). The decision to use the WI Throttle App on each iPad has been decided this afternoon which means having two windows open at the same time on each iPad, one running JMRI for Layout Control and the other running WIThrottle for Train Control. Will this effect the Set Up steps you are suggesting?

The number of connections a JMRI application supports is theoretically limited only by your hardware.
To add another connection to a single JMRI configuration profile:
- Open the Preferences window, select "Connections" in the list on the left, and click the tab with the "+" (plus) icon.
- Save the change, and restart JMRI (you will be prompted to).
- Open the Preferences window again, select "Defaults" in the list on the left, and make your Lenz system is the default for throttles, power, command station, programmers (if applicable), and consists.
- Save the change, and restart JMRI (you should be prompted to).
- Run your layout with the MERG providing turnout, etc control, and the Lenz providing throttle, etc control.
