Portable Demo

A compact N-scale layout used to demonstrate RailKernel outside the development environment with real track, trains, turnouts, feedbacks and digital hardware.

A real portable test layout

This portable N-scale layout is used for RailKernel demonstrations. It shows how a geometrically designed track plan is connected to physical track, accessories, feedbacks and a command station. Visitors can see automatic operation, route selection, block protection, precise release and Free Driving working in practice.
