Martijn Meerts Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I'll see if I can shoot a quick video of a semi-permanent layout I built with my father, based on one of the layouts in the Tomix layout back. It's all DCC and fully computer controlled. It's not set up 100% like it should, so not everything works yet, but it usually has anywhere from 3 to 5 trains running at the same time, with another 6 or so on various yards/spurs that get swapped out automatically. Might take a while though :) Link to comment
Bernard Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That is impressive....it doesn't look like a simple design....the modeler must be an engineering student from MIT Wow... I just stumbled into DCC while watching youtube for some nice N gauge 'opening sets' videos, where they took video while opening certain sets.. Besides that, i just truely amazed by this! Oh Man! True work of electronic engineering! Enough to give me a headache just by looking at the diagram... But sure is fun driving lotsa of trains using one single controller! Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yes The_Ghan, to be frank, i didnt know what the fuss is about DCC until i see this... Indeed, multiple trains running via one controller is impressive! I've to start saving the pennies indeed, but not for DCC but probably for layout materials & trains. Just gotten my layout table yesterday... Start of my layout project~ @ Martijn Meerts: Erm.. think i'll stick to default controller for me... I'm a poor man.. Yes that will be so nice to see your layout! Thanks! @ Bernard: I thought so too! Look at the electric diagram he draw and how to program & connect... He must felt a great sense of satisfaction when he was running his trains! Link to comment
