I most recently mentioned that I was looking for software for model railroad operations. Well, it turns out that a good, free program was right under my nose all along! JMRI is well known for the excellent Decoder Pro application for programming DCC decoders. But, it’s also a suite of Java applications for model railroads. In addition to the DCC decoder programmer, there are control panel design and DCC interfacing; a dispatching system; maintenance scheduling; and a fully functioning car forwarding system that really works and keeps good track of where all the cars are at each op session.
