Hi there,
Just wanted to say hi and get to know some of you. I'm fairly new to DCC, maybe a year or so into it, and I've setup my new freelance RR called the Greenwood Central, modeling Conrail in HO. I'm also into electronics and have been working with Arduino controllers for a while now. Currentl I'm working on mounting servos to control my turnouts with Arduino Nano's and also some block sensing with IR sensors and Signals.

to the Forum. Your intial posts are moderated.
It sounds like we are going to want to see your photos. Posting photos are unlike most forums I belong to. There is a "sticky" a permanent post in the general forum that gives directions on how to do it. Cheating does not work.

Hi AJ!
Welcome to the forums!!!
I'm glad to hear that you are into Arduinos! The use of Arduinos in the hobby still seems to be limited to a few brave souls. I bought a starter kit a while ago but when I started to look into it my eyes glazed over. Perhaps you will be able to offer the dinosaurs among us (like me) some encouragement and coaching.
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Welcome.
I am a LION...
... and I build SUBWAY TRAINS.
None of this DCC or Adrino nonsence for me. No little black chips that I do not know what they are doing. Railroad of LION is wired the old fashioned way.
Here is Relay Room of LION...
Nice and simple, and I can see what every thing does. And a nice CLICK tells me that it did it.

I haven’t yet used any Ardionos in model railroading but I’ve always wanted to since I learned about their existence. You can probably be my dream layout will be full of them!
Nice idea to have a thread introducing yourself, I wish I’d done that when I was new!
Regards, Isaac
I model my railroad and you model yours! I model my way and you model yours!

I bought some servos and have been experimenting with using them for route control. I too am interested in your projects.
