Sharing all of the fun of collecting o-scale model trains, building layouts, and learning how to do landscaping and scenery.

It's been a fun couple weeks getting to unbox and play with all the new Lionel Vision Hudsons, and we are ending on a high note. The folks at METCA did a great job. I'm working on a longer video talking about the release as a whole, should be up on YT later this week.

Here's a fun project. One of my friends has written a Python wrapper for all of the Lionel TMCC/LCS command sets, which gives us the ability to build custom physical *and* digital controllers. Here's a RPi with a 10in touchscreen that can toggle the power to all of my blocks. So many possibilites!

A basic digital UI showing the names of power districts that can be controlled directly.

I was super excited to get this custom run, but Lionel put the wrong road number on the lead engine. Dealer was very gracious in sending the locomotive off to have the proper number applied, and now they are perfect. I'm happy to add another L&N set to the collection! #oscaletrains #lioneltrains
