A HiveID Company, Provider of Inventory and Tracking Solutions
The TrainTraxx platform is a model railroading solution for inventory management and enables realistic model railroad operations through the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tracking. We provide affordable hardware and software solutions for the passionate hobbyist to take their hobby to the next level.
TrainTraxx has built a platform that uses our RFID hardware and our application software to integrate with model railroad operation interfaces such as JMRI. We take these interfaces and create realistic version of railroad dispatching, switching and operations.
Our application can be used from small to very large model railroad layouts. If your layout is in the design phase or not fully operational, the TrainTraxx application enable virtual operations.
NEW!
