Project 2020
We are planning to build a beautiful, complex and fully automated layout in 2020.
Several train station and railyards diverge from two main lines, that wind their way over all of the layout. As three stations are head stations, the layout is perfect for commuting trains, but also needs precise stopping points. On the right side is a small narrow gauge railway track.
The automation platform will be Rocrail and our own Arduino / ESP8266 based MattzoControllers.
The layout is designed for about 10 trains. Our real-time simulations show that it should be possible that on average four to five trains should be able to move concurrently.
We have also recorded a simulation run as a video:
We are going to publish news on the project on this page. Please subscribe to our social media channels (Youtube, Facebook) to stay up to date!
Hi there. This is awesome! I’m curious, how much space does this take up? ie. physical dimensions (in meters or feet or whatever)?
The layout has about 5,5m x 5,5m. That’s about 18ft x 18ft.
