11 Trains running at once, running up and down the mainlines, pulling into and out of the station platforms. I just sit back and watch it.
It's pretty reliable, i've had several hour-long running sessions with only minor problems. The most frequent seem to be Derailments - Just can't stop the odd one occurring! About one every 20 minutes at the moment. Every now and then a train overruns where it should be and shorts out the points - there are a couple of hot spots that are causing a problem every 15 or 20 minutes of running, a few more sensors needed in these locations.
The Track
About half the track has been constructed, just the two terminus stations and the mainline. This gives me 10 platforms, 5 at each end, a couple of intermediate mainline platforms, and a goods yard.
Rolling Stock
I've got 11 nice trains which run reliably, none of them stand out as problem causers. A couple of Hornby trains have had to go in the bin, just not good enough quality to run reliably.
Arduinos
12 Arduinos and 58 sensors run the track. It's going to need a few more sensors here and there.
