Demo & Test Track


Since the birth of my children, I do not have the space to create a fixed modelrailroad. So sometimes I just created a small track on the kitchen table to test a new train. I also wanted to do some testing with DCC components and software, so I needed a small demo track, preferably one that I could store somewhere without a hassle.

From two furniture panels, some wood, hinges and small wheels, I created a foldable track that is size 238cmx52cmx8cm. It is stored in the living room, but completely out of sight when stored.

The track can be connected with one cable to a DR5000 DCC controller, it contains one 16 channel S88, 7 decoders and 10 signals. The signals are created from print board.
