Two weeks ago, an updated version of RailControl Pro was released, featuring a convenient new way to reconnect to previously used Central Stations, along with improved app stability.

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

It’s been a while in the making, but here it finally is: Version 3—without a doubt, the biggest update so far for RailControl Pro.

After a few smaller bug-fix updates, here’s the first feature release of 2024 with full support for Control Desk-style Track Diagrams on CS3.

2023 was an incredible year for RailControl Pro with five big releases and more new customers than I thought possible. As the new year kicks in, let’s take a look at what 2024 has in store.

RailControl Pro version 2.2 was almost ready for release when CS3 software version 2.5 was unleashed by Märklin. Since RailControl Pro wasn’t compatible out of the box, I decided to finish off the last things for 2.2 over the weekend and include the necessary fixes for the new CS3 software as well.

Exciting news for Märklin Central Station 3 users, finally a new software version for CS3! A fully compatible version of RailControl Pro is set to be released in a few days.

As you might have noticed, Control Desk-style diagrams don’t show up in RailControl Pro and the CS3 Web App, while the so-called Panels are displayed just fine. Let’s take a closer look at why this is happening.

RailControl Pro Version 2 has been out for about a week now, and here’s the next version already. Today’s update mainly brings welcome improvements to the Track Diagram on CS3.

Finally, after two years of RailControl Pro, version two is out with support for Central Station 2. But that’s not all. Also for CS3 users, there are new features to enjoy in version 2.

Building a sustainable business out of an app is not easy. I would love to spend more time developing RailControl Pro, but the reality is that the income is far from enough to live on. There are so many ideas for the app, waiting to be developed, but I don’t always have the time to do so. That’s why I’m going to try and change the pricing model in an effort to be able to dedicate more time to the app.

Unfortunately, even the best apps contain bugs. Sometimes these bugs are never discovered; usually, they’re merely annoying. But once in a while, they make your app unusable. This time, a user discovered the latter in RailControl Pro.

The majority of the emails I receive from people stumbling upon RailControl Pro consist of only one question: “Does this app support Märklin CS2?”

I’m happy to announce that RailControl Pro 1.3 is out the door. As the version number suggests, this is more than just a bug fix update. Let’s take a look at the new features in this release.
