Lionel postwar layout
Posted by Willi on Friday, February 15, 2013 3:27 PM

Hi

I'm new to the forum. I'm starting to build a 800 sqft realistic layout of Carlsbad NM and the area in the time frame of 1905 - 1935. Does any body has some experience with automation of a alyout for postwar lionel locos?

THESE GUYS have it pretty much mastered. 

A lot of us here have worked with some degree of automation, but you're going to have to be more specific as to your plans / needs & level of expertise in applying the knowledge gleaned from here.  There are ways to DIY certain activities with varying levels of complexity, and there are commercially made products to assist in the execution.

Start out telling us about the track plan and the first item/feature you want to automate to get started.

You are right I have to provide more detail. I will draw a track plan and provide more details. It will take a few days because the plan I have is way to big to scan it. Thanks for your replay.
