A model railroad is automated using microcomputers. Single-board microcomputers are designed, built, and programmed by mechanical and aerospace engineering students. Model trains and railroad accessories are controlled using optical, magnetic, and electromechanical sensors and actuators. Project computers are programmed to automatically control operations. Many projects use our method of interactive control in which a remote client computer coordinates direction and speed of multiple locomotives through an exchange of data with a host computer. All projects use HORNBY RAILWAY's "Zero One" system in which digital data is transmitted along with power on the rails.
