Self-hosted, with a 30-day free trial. Run your model railway from your phone, tablet or PC — driving, turnouts, block control and automatic running. For DCC-EX, Roco Z21, Märklin, ESU ECoS, Fleischmann Twin Center, Lenz and Uhlenbrock.
This runs entirely in your browser (simulation — no layout needed). Exactly the real controls: turn on track power, pick a loco, give it throttle, toggle functions. As you drive, a "train" runs through the blocks.
From manual driving to a layout that runs itself.
Smooth throttle, direction, functions (lights/sound) and turnouts — from any device, with multiple operators at once.
Per-block occupancy and collision prevention: a route is refused if a block is occupied.
Trains follow routes block by block — reserve, drive, arrive, wait, continue. Manual override any time.
Drive a lap and the layout discovers itself: blocks and routes are built from the occupancy feedback.
Operate your layout remotely via the web version with a secure pairing code. Or purely local on your own Wi-Fi.
Dutch, English and German. Your layout, your data — no cloud lock-in.
One app — pick your command station at startup.

Free download, 30-day trial. Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux or a Raspberry Pi.
One file, unzip, double-click. Pick your system:
Unzip → double-click modelrailpro → the browser opens. Set your command station in the app (Manage → Connection). Works with network stations (DCC-EX, Z21, DR5000, ECoS, Märklin). For serial stations (Twin Center, Lenz, Uhlenbrock) use the Node.js version.
One command on your Pi (or any Linux): downloads ModelRailPro, installs it as a service that auto-starts on boot, and serves your layout on port 3000.
ModelRailProcurl -fsSL https://modelrailpro.com/install.sh | sudo bashThen reachable at http://<pi-ip>:3000 (or http://modelrailpro.local:3000). Re-run to update; your layout data is kept.
Besides local on your own Wi-Fi, you can also control your layout over the internet.
Fastest and offline — open the program on your network and control from any phone in the house.
Set a secret pairing code in the app and control your layout from anywhere via this website. The program connects outbound — no port forwarding.
