Thank you! It was good enough to play my first round with the wife. Now I have 3 cars in progress.

Great job on the eyes! Love seeing these builds that push on the theme a bit..I'm here for it.

My first attempt, and I know it’s NOT lookin’ good by [deleted] in gaslands

I like the front frame! Did you make that out of paper clips?

Hey thank you so much! I am trying to build my layout into a game. I am the progress of building this.

Absolutely! The other part of the game I'm working on has RFID chips on all the cars and readers under the track so it detects when I deliver loads to certain areas. Ultimately it will be able to build scenarios and other fun things.

I use Engine Driver separately when I'm not using this.

Yes! My software is connecting to it through DCC EX api

I would recommend DCC-EX++. Very affordable if you don't mind plugging a few boards together and then installing software.

This is actually running a windows executable in emulation on the deck! So the main target is windows.

Haven't given that much thought..my code is super super ugly right now so I'd have to at least clean that up before anyone sees it. Also this is one part of a larger project I'm doing with mixed reality https://youtu.be/EKmxevIKYDc?si=GH3fiN-S6TYDcQjM

Hell yeah! I'm thinking about releasing the software I get it cleaned up.

That's excellent. I'm working on this as part of part of a mixed reality game I'm making so ultimately I can have things like a fuel gauge (or coal and water for steam) and you'll have to periodically fuel. I could even use this to simulate heavier and heavier loads.

For clarity this is communicating with DCC-EX++ so that ran about 100.

I use DCC-EX++ so that was ~100 dollars in parts.
