The first update of 2025 introduces a few handy improvements for managing Locs and Events, along with a few essential bug fixes.

Rearrange Loc Collection Tabs

Loc collections, introduced in version 3, are a great way to organize your Locs. Previously, these collections would show up in the order you created them, which wasn’t necessarily the best order. With version 3.1, it’s now possible to rearrange the tabs to your liking.

Choose Edit Collections from the menu on the Locs overview, and drag the collections into the order you prefer.

Groups for Events

Speaking of collections, users with a lot of Events might want to organize them more efficiently. With this update, CS3 users who assign their Events to a group will now be able to filter by these groups as well. Assigning groups still needs to be done on the CS3 for now, but a future update of RailControl Pro will allow you to manage Event groups within the app for both CS3 and CS2 users.

Bug Fixes

Bug-free software doesn’t exist. And apps built on top of complex technology with a lot of legacy—like Märklin CAN and the Central Station software—need to provide support for an infinite number of configurations, making them even more prone to bugs than other software. Luckily, bugs can be fixed. In this release, we caught a few bad ones:

• Users with Control Desk-style Track Diagrams on CS3 might see a few previously missing elements showing up again.
• Crossings with two drivers are finally working properly again.

These bugs, like many others, were reported by users, for which I’m very grateful. Without your support and reports, RailControl Pro wouldn’t be what it is today. If you come across any issues, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
