    Internet controllable model RR!

    Just got back from a road trip. I am not really that concerned about marketing, I just did it for grins, but would be willing to build them if it proved popular. I get the part about people wrecking it and I have a toggle switch that lets me turn off the turnout power if accidents become a...

    Internet controllable model RR!

    http://www.internetmodelrailroad.com/ Check it out - I think it is the only one currently operating. The layout is crude and is mostly used to test the software - but it will be replaced soon. If anybody is interested I will build you a control system. It runs two DCC locomotives (tested...

    New DCC system

    I just built a new DCC system for N scale using an HS12 microprocessor that drives a 754410 H bridge and that IC then drives the track. This board is packaged with a Mod 5270 Netburner board to provide both internet and local control. I attached files showing the track circuit board and the...
