    I would use the JMRI software (IT”S FREE)the down side its not as user friendly as the commercial ones but at this point your not out several hundred dollars to find out this wasn’t your cup of tea! Use JMRI in conjunction with the LocoBuffer USB by Cirkits and you’ll be golden! Good Luck ~Alan
