Model railway network

ESP32 · S88 · DCC · Électronique · 2019 - Present

Custom electronics for occupancy detection and automated signalling on an H0-scale railway.

Overview

Since 2019, I’ve been building an HO-scale model railway layout with full DCC control. I design and build all the electronics myself, including block occupancy detection circuits and signal control boards, combining hardware design with embedded software for automated signaling.

Engineering approach

This project connects DCC control, S88 feedback and signaling boards. Its main engineering challenge is the interface between physical sensors, control electronics and embedded logic rather than a standalone web app.

Scope and limitations

Personal project: design choices and long-term maintenance shape its evolution. This page describes documented capabilities rather than unmeasured results.
