The project

Garden railways with a digital soul.

TruRail is a project born in Barcelona to make driving a garden train as easy as picking up your phone, without giving up good old DCC.

Our story

You choose how you play.

It all started on a garden layout: stone bridges, tunnels, a station and locomotives we wanted to control more comfortably, without cables and without losing compatibility with existing systems.

That's how TruRail came about: a decoder that understands both DCC and WiFi, and a central that turns the layout into its own network that anyone can join from their phone or tablet.

Today we take it to model railway exhibitions so everyone can try it.

What drives us

Four ideas behind every board.

Made by hobbyists

Born from hours of play on a real layout, not from a spec sheet.

Built for the outdoors

Sun, rain and long layouts: the garden railway sets the rules.

Made to play together

Anyone can take control from their phone. Perfect for families and exhibitions.

Designed in Barcelona

Electronics and software designed and tested here, piece by piece.

Exhibitions

Come and see it live.

We take TruRail to model railway fairs and exhibitions. Several locomotives running at once, controlled from a tablet: the best way to see what it does.

Organising an exhibition?

We'd love to bring TruRail along. Drop us a line and let's talk.
