Wirenwood Model Railway
Building an OO Gauge model railway in my loft.
A DCC layout using JMRI, running on a Windows PC. Running MQTT to communicate with several auxiliary devices - Arduinos, ESP32s - for accessories such as servo turnout motors, signals run by JMRI signal mast logic, relays for electrofrog control, block occupancy sensors using Infrared, LDRs and current detection
