kinetic faerie model railroad

An HO scale train layout autonomously controlled by a rack of custom electronics.

Powered by a salvaged ATX power supply, this layout runs two trains, sidings, light effects with fading, a small biplane, and more.

Fits in a tidy 5' x 7'. Tip of the old Seriously A Master Hat to the late Rick Vaughn for the Railrunner train designs.
