As at the 21st of October 2007, the Milwaukee Road Kansas City Subdivision went live with CTC. The system is built around the Bruce Chubb C/MRI system. See JLC Enterprises for more information.
The Kansas City Subdivsion uses a total of 4 SMINI nodes. 2 SMINI nodes are under the layout controlling Tortoise switch machines, home built signals using 2 wire bi-colour LEDs, reading turnout positions and block detectors ( 9 x DCCODs, also from JLC Enterprises).
The CTC panel is controlled by 2 SMINI nodes, one node controls the switch indicator lamps and reads the switch levers. The other node controls the block lamps, signal indicator lamps and reads the signal levers.
