The Local

Colorado & Southern Ry. Engine 629 drifts past Renick siding with the southbound Local.   In 1958, steamers still service the industries between Denver and Cheyenne.

Ever wonder how fast your train is really going… in that tunnel?

Or how long your Main Line is from one end to the other?

What about the mileage from Union Station to Burns Junction?

Do you ever wish you could keep an eye on all the speed-demon engineers on your layout — in a single glance?

The RollBy™ OnBoard Speedometer turns your SmartPhone or Tablet into a dashboard speedometer for your trains — and it accurately measures distances on your layout too!

The OnBoard Speedometer installs easily in any railcar on your layout and sends speed and distance data to the free RollBy™ Train Speedometer App on your mobile device while the car's moving.



This video demonstrates the RollBy™ OnBoard Speedometer and the RollBy™ Train Speedometer App — including how to download the App from the Google Play Store or the App Store to check your SmartPhone's compatibility.
