Full description
You can use Tower Operator to do the work of an operator in a signal box or tower controlling points or switches, lights, signals and power via a set of maps of your model railroad. You build the maps with the built in editor then associate each signal, turnout etc. on your maps with a channel on a WifiTrax electronic module on your layout. Then you simply tap on the symbols on your map to operate real items on your layout over your home Wi-Fi network. Use it alongside Loco Operator, our Wi-Fi app to control your model locomotives. This app is not a self contained game. You can install it and create maps to evaluate it but to use it fully, you must purchase WifiTrax modules and install them on your model railroad layout. This app is NOT a self-contained game, it is intended for use with WifiTrax electronic modules to control a real model railroad. Recommended for Android Tablets with resolution at least 1024 x 768.

What's new

Support added for Wi-Fi/DCC Track-side. Improved import/export of Maps. Logical devices now included with maps. Various bug fixes.
