I am trying a new tack. No hooping. That is to say that the oval layout is out, and that straight track setups are in.
This should be useful to those who are interested in owning a train set, but do not have the physical space for an oval layout. Or if you just want a shuttle service from one wall to another
These shuttle routes will be automated with IR and Raspberry Pi. No soldering necessary.
A willingness to learn and use Python is expected throughout these pages, however it is not complicated and the software (JMRI) is easy(ish) to learn.
Please look through the articles on the left for more.
