Draw the railway
Build a geometrically accurate layout with connected track, turnouts, crossings, signals, feedback contacts and operational blocks.
One railway, one operational model
Model railway control software that understands the track plan
RailKernel combines layout design, command-station control, feedback monitoring, route calculation and automatic train operation in one application.
Operate with confidence
See occupancy, reservations, turnout positions and moving trains directly on the layout instead of across disconnected control panels.
Automate transparently
RailKernel calculates routes from the actual railway model and shows why a movement can or cannot be made.
From digital command station to complete railway control
- Connect supported Märklin CS3 and ESU ECoS command stations, import railway objects and manage the layout from RailKernel.
- Keep locomotives, trains, accessories and feedback contacts together in a project that remains understandable and portable.
- Run RailKernel on Windows, macOS or Linux and use the same project and operating concepts on every platform.
