Customer Comments: “The eTrain Wi-Fi software is working great! I finally got a chance to set it up and try it out and it works much better than I expected. It is easy to use, and I like it much better than the TMCC remotes, and even better than Lionel's app for the iPad.” “I enjoy running my trains more using eTCC than when using two CAB-1s. I like being able to control track power, switch positions and engine operation all from one screen. I find this far superior to any of Lionel's control systems.” “That is some sweet software, aka eTrain. He has accessed the full command set as well as the extended address range. Anyone who is looking for a way to run TMCC without the CAB-1 should look at this very hard. It should actually be able to run the trains better than the CAB-1.” “I have looked at eTrain Command Console. He increased the address space beyond the CAB-1 capability, partially at my request, for fully utilizing my SwitchMaster switch controller. His software is very inexpensive considering the amount of work involved.” “I have to tip my hat to you on eTrain. I have been running non-decoder equipped locos and one proto-sounds 2 loco! I especially like the keystroke savings when creating lash-ups, routes, etc. These are the reasons why I purchased the program.” “I love your program. I created a simple VB and C# app myself, but not with such elaborate features! I am impressed. I know how much time it takes.” “Exactly what I was looking for and forgive my French but it’s pretty damn awesome. I love it!” System Requirements Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11 - It may work on other versions of Windows, but has only been tested on the versions listed.
