Summary
This layout was built by Mattze around Christmas 2021. It is a small test and demonstration layout. Primary aim was to test the MattzoTrainController for Bluetooth (MTC4BT) with Lego Powered Up Hubs and SBricks, and the beautiful new form signals. The layout was also used to shoot some videos for the MattzoBricks Youtube channel.
The layout has only one oval, and a train station with two parallel tracks. Initially, the switches were not motorized for simplicity, so the tracks are automatically chosen by the direction from which the trains enter the station. Switch motors were added later to allow for more vivid train operations.
The layout started with three blocks. A fourth block was added later to lower the delay between two subsequent trains.
