Re: Best Command Station to use with Decoder Pro
Tom,
The question is if the ESU command station will work with JMRI. If it
does, then you have something. But I don't recall what level of ESU
command station support has been written for JMRI.

The test still occurs, but the issue is what happens after the test. A related factor is what causes a ConditionNG to execute.

It takes a special circuit to get added to the booster to allow
RailCom to work and then the circuit that would listen for the

I find myself using LogixNG more and more and I did wonder what the overhead was.

Re: Best Command Station to use with Decoder Pro
Yes, ESU decoders support "ordinary RailCom". The "+" part is additional capabilities.
RailCom+ (mostly automatic decoder registration with command station) is part of the RailCommunity standards

Re: Best Command Station to use with Decoder Pro
Dick, Good point about Railcom and NMRA. As I understand it, Railcom became
an RP in 1997 and didn't become a standard until 2012. Even then, the

George,
A "bean" is a Java object that has a set of characteristics. In the JMRI, most of the table items, such as turnouts, sensors, etc., are implement as Java beans.

Fixing the block continuity errors is required.
You have two choices.
1. Make the stub track one block.
2. Create a unique block for the back half of the stub track.
This will eliminate the
