LMRG are showing our Stonesby Magna Layout at the Soar Valley Model Railway Club's "Heart of the Midlands" model railway exhibition at Loughborough Grammar School on the 17th and 18th of August.

The layout is DCC Controlled using an NCE PowerCab ^TM with a ProCab ^TM additional handset, and the points are servo-controlled using the MegaPoints ^TM system.  The OO-9 Quarry feature is controlled automatically using the EX-RAIL Automation features of the Arduino-based DCC-EX ^TM Command Station, demonstrating random locomotive sounds and varying time delays at each end ranging from 7 to 20 seconds.  Two line-tracking sensors are used detect the arrival of the locomotive at each end of the journey.  The locomotive can also be controlled manually using the Android Engine Driver App or iPhone Wi-throttle App.  Details of the code used are available on request.
