DCCExpress is a web-based railway model layout editor and control system. It allows users to design and manage railway tracks interactively, including placing turnouts, signals, and occupancy sensors on a digital layout.
- ✅ Web-based editor for designing railway tracks
- ✅ Interactive placement of turnouts, signals, and sensors
- ✅ Real-time track control through a digital command center
- ✅ Automation scripting support via dispatcher.js
- ✅ Audio support: button presses or via dispatcher.js automation.
- ✅ Current support: 🟢 Roco Z21 Command Center
- ⏳ Upcoming support: 🔜 DCC-EX integration
The dispatcher.js file allows users to write control automation scripts for managing railway operations. This enables advanced behaviors like automated signal switching, turnout control, and event-based operations.
(You need to edit the DCCExpress/dist/dispatcher.js file.
In the menu, reload the script by clicking on the Dispatcher icon.)
