    Hi All,

    I'm 73 years young, a member of a very small club in Hollister, CA. San Juan Pacific MRC. We are 10 members strong and reside on the the premises of San Benito Co Historical Park.
    We have 2 small layouts HO and N. I am a N-scaler (2 of us).
    I designed the layout after we were asked to leave the San Benito Co Fairgrounds after 14 years.
    The layout is Digitrax DCC as is the HO side but mine (if I can call it that) is run by a Raspberry Pi with several Arduinos running the switches and block detection.

    That's the Gist of the situation.
    Thanks for having me.

    Don

    Not as yet. The n scale layout is currently nothing but a plywood frame. The HO side is much further along.

    Will try to come up with some.
