CATS
CATS

The Crandic Automated Traffic System (CATS) is a JMRI-based application by Rodney Black for controlling and operating a model railroad. There's more information on the CATS web site.

The current version of CATS requires JMRI 2.5.5 or later; we recommend you use it with the JMRI 2.6.1 production version.

The earlier version 2.15/2.06 of CATS (current as of July 4, 2009) required JMRI 2.0 through 2.5.3. We recommend use of JMRI 2.5.3 with these earlier version of CATS.
