MyHome-Railway

Non-digital but computer-controlled: an apparently inconsistent statement or just the definition of an unusual control tecnique? Briefly, it’s just the way I applied software to control my old, analog railway (so old that some parts date back to my teen-age), so enabling trains to perform more dynamically. The final effect is impressive, at least for someone who used to be a teen-ager a long time ago…

Four trains run on just three circuits, stopping at the fictitious railway station of Cortina d’Ampezzo or under a typical Märklin crane, to upload and download containers. Neither human operator, nor digital control panel is required: the job is done by two Lego RCX bricks and a bunch of relays.
