Three screens do most of the work

Every loco gets its own card, so a second train is one scroll away. STOP ALL and track power are always at the top.

A card for every loco

A regulator slider, Fwd and Rev, Stop, up to four quick functions and the full F0–F28 grid. Volume buttons change speed if you like.

Decoders without the manual

Find a loco's address, change it, read or write any CV, reset a decoder, and switch a Hornby HM7000 between DCC and Bluetooth.

Try it without a layout

Practice mode

Drive, program and switch tracks with a pretend command station. Nothing is sent anywhere. It's the quickest way to learn the app.

On your wrist

Apple Watch and Wear OS

Turn the crown for speed, tap for direction and quick functions, and STOP ALL is always there. If the watch goes quiet while a loco is moving, the phone stops it.
