Railway
Page
My Railway is built on a 340X190 cm. baseboard in H0
Scale and is operated via JMRI
Model Railroad Computer Control using either a Laptop or a Smart
Device and powered by a DCC-EX
Command Station. The
Tracks and Turnouts are from Hornby and Peco.
Check here for more
details.
My DCC-EX
Command Station (AKA: CS) consists of:
- Arduino Mega + Wireless WiFi Shield + EX‑MotorShield8874 (DC
Motor driver L298P as backup)
- Arduino Mega + PCA9685 to control, by Micro Servos, the Turnouts
(as alternative to PCA9685 a Mega
Sensor Shield can be used)
Check here for more information on my CS
To
control and Operate my Railway I use JMRI
The JMRI project , a
building tools for model railroad computer control.
JMRI is based on Java and is Cross-Platform, I can use it from a PC, a Mac
as well as from a Raspberry or Linux.
It allows me to program the Loco Decoders, to create Panels that represent
my railway and to operate the trains as well as the turnouts and much more
from a single point.
Check here to know more
about my implementation of JMRI.
All Locos,
Coaches, Freight
Cars and Good Wagons are
mainly based on Epoch V and VI with some contamination of Epoch IV.
Locos are
mainly by Rivarossi, Piko and Roco from Trenitalia Railroad and are
all Digital.
Passenger
Coach are from Rivarossi and Piko Trenitalia Railroad
Freight
Cars and Goods Wagons are from different Railroad or Leasing
Companies
Future
Purchases
I created and will mantain a list of useful
Web
Resources .
