HO road chain car system - driving system

Me & the project

I'm building a small train diorama as a hobby, HO scale, epoch III, central Europe

As a software engineer with some *electronic skills burning my fingers* as well as a strong background in 3D printing, I'm building and designing many of my needs including bridges, houses, motor mounts, signals, pillars, etc. using Arduinos and digitizing almost everything.

Having a moving train but static cars wasn't acceptable. So I needed a system to move my small Norev cars.

Owner of a wonderful multi-color printer, I've started building my own system as proposed here.

This system is using magnets, Arduino and servo.

The Instructable page is under construction.

For any questions or wishes, feel free to ask me
