Upgrading A Christmas Train with Python and Raspberry Pi -- Episode 478

Unfortunately, not everything we buy off the shelf is as amazing as it appears. We found this with our Christmas Train. The options were throw it out, and mod it. I didn't really see that as a question...

For more information on setting up the RPI headless, head over to Episode 444: Raspberry Pi 4 DVR for more info, at around 7:15 in!

Very nice upgrade . I had an HO set when I was a kid. Your video got me wondering if those sets have now been upgraded with electronics. A quick look at the Lionel store shows some basic features controlled by either by a dedicated Bluetooth remote or Bluetooth app.

Good question, I'd not thought of that. I am quite interested to get hold of a "digital" Scalectrix set, and see how they work too (both cars can race indipendently on the same track).
