• No matters , JAO System is made for you.
  The Club will help you to discover step by step, just what you need to know to be able to "play" with JAO.

• JAO-System will let you discover the pleasure to create a layout, its routes, its trains, its circulation. Macro-commands will allow you seizing some special effects of running your trains.

• No matters, JAO-System will help you in your choice and will concretise even what you did not dare to imagine.

• JAO-System will let you discover the pleasure to create a layout, its routes, its trains, its traffic, to adapt it to your layout or help you to conceive others easier or more complexes.

• With JAO-System you will experiment new pleasure, new discoveries, model driving of a train. Finally true model railroading!
• You will be able to run your old trains and new ones together without any modification without any expensive additional module.
• Trains will accelerate, slow down, stop, obey the commands and the circulation rules as in the reality of the great railway networks.

• With JAO-System the computer knows permanently the exact location of each train on the layout!
  It will drive your layout as in the reality with tracks split in sections with block system.
• It is a PC software developed (only one diskette) by computer specialists for model-railroaders.
• This software will allow you with small electronic cards to drive your layout (2 tracks from Z to G scale) whatever its size.

• You can draw your layout, split tracks in sections, and number turnouts (modelling on screen).
• You can record the moving rules of your trains through track sections with relevant turnout position.
• You can model the complete drive of your layout on the screen of your PC before connecting it to the layout ( simulation of the movements of several trains).
• Connected to the layout, it allows the circulation of trains of all types, old or new, for 2 rails with D.C. current without any modification of the locomotives and without any additional decoder (for your own locomotives or for the ones of a visitor).
• It allows to drive from one up to 20 trains at the same time on double or simple reversible track, taking account of the load of the convoys, of the type of engine and the number of cars. It takes into account a descriptive file of 99 trains where each train receives its own parameters of speeds, its coefficients of braking acceleration and stop, its own routes. It allows you to use several locomotives to draw the same train. It allows you to drive reversible trains!
• The management of the timing of the trains, the routes, slowdown without abrupt stop, accelerations without to blows, of the turnouts, signs, modification of speed in a particular canton (grill of turnouts, slopes), stop periods. The management of time schedules.
• The management of the tracks sections and realistic progression of the trains from one section to another.
• A complete automatism of your layout all while leaving you a complete freedom return to manual driving with potentiometers or carry out operations while part of the layout is entirely automatic.
• The recall on a large Optical Control Panel of the position of the trains, turnouts ...

• Through a main electronic card on which are fixed tracks section cards (maximum 16 per main card) and 4 cards driving 4 turnouts (16 turnouts per main card).
• A section card is connected to the tracks section with 4 wires which split the section in 3 detection parts: entry, middle way and way-out. Information is automatically transferred from one section to the next one. The physical position of each train is known permanently and can be reported on Optical Control Panel Board!
• Turnouts need 3 wires. The definite or random routes modify the position of the turnouts automatically.
• Twenty trains, simple traction or in multiple unit, can be driven at the same time and each one is followed in real time by the software: speeds, accelerations, slow down, downtime, grill of turnouts, reverse circulation, 2 ways tracks, etc... all that without any collision risk!!!
• No needs of embarked chips, of expensive decoders, the locomotive, lonely or with a convoy, moving front, reverse gear, in multiple unit, is recognised by the system with starting. It will be accompanied by JAO-System logic throughout its move with or without pre-established routes.
• The complexity of your layout can go up to 8 main cards i.e. 8x16 section cards (128) and 8x16 turnouts (128) with simultaneous circulation of 20 trains. A famous performance! But you can only start with 4 sections!
• JAO-system: modularity, easy to use.
