help for a newbie on TNOS and TCS 5574

[subirs]

Dear Friends,

 

I am a newbie in the area of rail modelling. I have been trying to get information about TNOS and TCS 5574.  About  TNOS  I could comprehend is that it is for fixed  layout. Is it true?

Is TCS 5574 independent of the layout.

 

I have bought  basic layout and then modified it using anyrail.  Any help will be deeply appreciated.

 

Regards

The Tomix TNOS and the 5574 Automatic Operation Unit both only work with specific Tomix-designed layouts. They they have been programmed to handle those layouts. The two systems have different sets of layouts.

 

More information in English about TNOS can be found here:

For more information on Tomix Automatic Operation Units, you can search Youtube videos for "Tomix 5574" as well as "Tomix 5563" (the earlier version that runs the same as the 5574). Also look here for the layouts for the 5574 / 5563:

 

At present the TNOS system is unavailable except second-hand, and no additional production run has been scheduled, that I know about.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply.  I am trying to build a layout for my 7 year old kid. During my last visit to Tokyo I bound Plan DX-PC(F) (product no. 90951) and few trains.  Now I have made certain modifications to it and in my forthcoming visit to Tokyo will buy more to  accomplish the layout.  

 

I have read many of your post and found them quite informative, I also learnt few things from them. I would soon post my planned layout (from anyrail)  and will post my view for the implementation of TCS to it.  I would be grateful if any member  would give their suggestions. 

 

Thanks in Advance.
