What does the Commander do?
Well, this is really going to be a voyage of discovery - it is complex and we have only started playing so we can fully understand the functionality.
The digital control in Part 35 does not come pre-configured - it needs work to set it up.
Photo 1 - Starting the unit up gives you a home screen similar to that shown. Function buttons down the side and selected locos at the top.
Photo 2 - Via the touch screen the display modes can be changed.
Photo 3 - Ditto with the scale of the display.
Photo 4 - You have a railway, you need a track diagram. This screen, along with the touch components and the mouse button are used to enter in the track plan. Here it is being drawn, with a piece selected. Lots and lots of symbols are available.
