Has anybody attempted computer control using Hornby Elite? Furthermore. if so any recommendations or otherwise with regard to software?

Thanks for this. Have read all advice etc. Its now time to suck it and see.

Well have sucked it and seen and Lo and Behold it works. Now do I buy the real Train Controller instead of the unlicensed version which stops after playing? That's a rhetorical question. Just wanted to share my success.

In the beginning I had an analogue layout with reed switches and trains running back and forth. Then I went DCC and no shuttle. So now am into computer control. Where will it end?

Thanks Zmil. Am looking at JMRI. So far not got beyond looking and reading. By the way am in Oz for a month in Feb. (Sydney and Brisbane with forays on The Ghan.) Any railway stuff to look out for?

En passant. In my reading about computer control I have come across contact/block sensors which detect occupancy. Can anybody tell me anything about these and how they fit into the great scheme of things.
