About Decapod Systems

Decapod Systems began in 1985 when Jim Botsko, a model railroader and computer programmer, was transferred to Germany for a two year assignment. In a foreign country, without his train layout, Jim turned to his computer for refuge and designed a program for model railroads. He focused on the most important aspect of the session: the switchlist. Wouldn't it be great to be able to plan switchlists that keeps track of where the cars and trains were at the end of the last session and go from there? So, that's what he designed. And since he's had his train layout again, he's used it every session.
