There are many ways to use an Arduino on a model railroad. These tiny, inexpensive, programmable computers can perform functions such as controlling signals, routing turnouts, and running animations.

The following project is an update of Gary D. Patterson’s “Simplified CTC signals” in the July 1988 issue of MR. Bringing the project up to date was a large endeavour. The block control project now ...

Arduino-Model-Railroad-Turnout-Servos Using an Arduino UnoR3 Mega2560 and two 32-bit servo controllers to control turnouts on a large N-scale model railroad layout I have a large, complex layout, ...

About Using an Arduino ESP8266 to control a model train. Web control for basis.

The Train-centric control system integrates the main functions of the whole system into the vehicle, so the train can control the route resources independently.

A miniature monorail train stabilizes itself using control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) driven by RC servos, an MPU6050 sensor, and an Arduino. The system uses counter-rotating gyros to balance the ...

Having kids now I thought its time to dust off the old model train set - nothing fancy just plain old 12V DC model.

Old-school rail monitoring systems had amazing displays of stations and tracks covered in flashing lights that tracked the progress of trains along a route. While it’s unlikely you’ll f… ...
