Control of the modular layout is via Train Controller of RR&Co. A lot of work by MikeR a forum member and other members of our Märklin Modellers Group.



Hopefully MikeR can give us much more information about the actual electronics, protocols etc.

Here is a pic of some of the electronics that makes this whole lot work.

He is not only a brilliant photographer as you can see from the photos but he can tell you just about anything regarding Marklin and modeling in general.
Thanks for the photos, can’t wait to see more.

For those that are interested and as suggested by Pieter, I have opened a new thread in the Digital section of the forum with details of the control system. It can be accessed via the following link:

Control System thread
Mike
Digital - C track with CS2 and Railroad&Co TrainController; feedback using LocoIO via a Locobuffer
Analog - M track with solid centre rail (after C track layout is complete)
Collect all Eras - especially Crocodiles
