Software

Tcc

Train Control Centre. The software promoted on this site. I wrote it in Java to be portable between machines and based upon the scripting language used in TBrain by CTI, see below.

Overview

What is Tcc, what can it drive.

Intro to Tcc

Similar to the above, perhaps the two should be merged

Uses for Tcc

Uses for a computer with model railways.

TCC_tutorial

A tutorial illustrating the use of hardware modules and tcl script. Written by Howard Watkins.

TCL

Train Control Language is how you tell Tcc what to do.

TDL

Track Definition Language allows you to automate your layout without writing any Tcl script at all.

Tcc menus

A run-through of each item in each menu in the Tcc application

Configure interfaces

Explains how to tell Tcc about what interface modules you have connected and how its connected.

Filtering inputs

Model railways are electrically noisy environments - Tcc has to filter all input lines to prevent glitches being seen as trains arriving.

Download

Get a copy on tcc.jar - the main application.

Installation instructions

How to fetch and install java, jna and Tcc

JMRI

JMRI is intended as a jumping-off point for hobbyists who want to control their layouts from a computer without having to create an entire system from scratch.

CMRI

Bruce Chubb's Computer/Model Railroad Interface system.

MRCCC

Model Railway Computer Control Centre is a Windows software application created to provide a user interface and interlocking for the model railway that closely replicates real modern UK signalling practice.

TBrain

CTI

Software to suit the hardware modules that CTI manufacture. The scripting language that Tcc uses is based upon that used in TBrain.

Supports DC and some DCC.

The CTI user guide

Hardware

A description of the ready-made interface modules that CTI manufacture. Many of these are supported by Tcc as well as by their own software TBrain.
