maidstone Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I was unaware of the purchasing issues with Herr Friewald until I tried purchasing an upgrade to my Bronze Ver 8. The ordering process has rejected my Btinternet.com email address and just says use another email address. Has anyone purchased anything via the web page or is the possibility to purchase anything still zero. it looks like iTrains or another system is my only option - certainly a strange way to run a business.

Are you trying to upgrade to silver or gold? If not personally I wouldn't update from Bronze 8 to Bronze 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymsa Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Look in the announcement section of his forum, you will see that BT emails are locked from being used when purchasing. This was because BT users have had issues receiving emails from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it was over-zealous spam filters within BT mail. That may or may not have changed now that BT Mail has since been upgraded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold franciswilliamwebb Posted November 27, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 27, 2021 As an ex-Traincontroller user, I can confidently recommend iTrain. It does everything I ever did in Traincontroller and I’ve been more than happy since swapping over. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m led to believe that iTrain wins on the standard stuff but can sometimes be wanting if you’re used to doing ‘clever’ stuff in TC. As an example, I use TC variables to carry routing information forwards with them to apply when they get to my terminal station. This allows me to ‘soft call’ their destination platform while still being able to modify it when I’m in signalman mode. Paul. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis, can you say what prompted the switch to iTrain; after all, it's plain that a great deal of time must be put in to either one to be able to use them successfully? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMorrison Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) I also spent a few months with TC9 before swapping to iTrain - never looked back and never had to speak to Freiwald again after changing (that was possibly the biggest benefit) Edited March 5, 2022 by WIMorrison 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymsa Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Probably the attitude and behaviours caused the switch to itrain Edited March 5, 2022 by Andymsa 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
