Im an undergraduate engineering major at Drexel University and Im working on a research project. As part of the project, we need to test a sensor we're using. We wanted to strap the sensor to a model train and have the ability to vary the train's speed using a computer. I am completely new to model trains and have had some difficulty picking up the lingo and sorting through train sets. I was hoping someone had suggestions for the following: -An average quality, relatively inexpensive train set (looking to spend a few hundred dollars) -A DCC system to control the train -any other necessary equipment to interface the DCC with a computer -any other equipment needed to run the train Any help would be greatly appreciated.
