I am exploring iTrain and it looks to be quite capable and there is a trial available too. Mainly becasue I am a Mac user though.

I will use decoder pro from JRMI when my PR3 interface arrives from the states.

I look forward to your progress with this project. I only plan to use JRMI for the Decoder Pro functionality as I already have a wireless Digitrax controller and it provides sufficient function buttons for my requirements.

Regarding automation, control and signalling I will be incorporating CML's LocoShuttle which by using sensors (I use Richard's from DCC Concepts) a 16 step sequence can be programmed which will take over control of a DCC fitted loco. More on this to come. Additionally the CML SIGM20 board is also very capable it would appear as a standalone signal logic controller coupled with the sensors and LocoNet point position indicators etc.

The Decoder Pro manual was revised last month as stated and I printed it and read it over a couple of days of train commutes and found it relatively easy to digest and quite a good non professional manual - I have read a lot, lot worse to be sure!

My Digitrax PR3 has been dispatched from the states and will be here soon. Test track with Locoshuttle automation on its way and JRMI Decoder Pro will be setting up my decoders from now on...
