I'm planning to automate the layout. Trains can run by themselves but I'll also be able to take control of a train with a handheld wifi control if I want to. The DCC system is all Digikeijs for now. For automation I'm using iTrain. There's a bit of a learning curve so I figured I'd learn the basics before applying it to the new layout. Currently I'm using the hardware on a small temporary table, put together using pieces from my old layout. It's pretty ghetto but it works.

The room is finished and the basic bench-work is finished, though I still have to add some triangular sections of fill in the inner corners. I set up a temporary DC Loop
with Kato unitrack to play with some trains. This is my basement, where the new layout will live. I removed a wall to open up the space. In a couple of months, when the floor is redone, I'll begin putting together the benchwork and laying track. |
