You have just got your self a new stalker err follower!
I am just in the process of setting up a test track as I am getting back into the hobby and will be running DCC and upon reading up, there is so much functionality on the locos compared to the last time I ran a railway, 35+ years ago.
I also set-up a model railway community and then went around all the facebook groups to try and recruit people to the platform to no avail! Most model railway people seem to be rather stuck in their ways but I do read that they are fighting with DCC! Perhaps this will be a door into Hive in the future.
Thanks for the reply, and I will be watching closely for future articles! Have a great weekend.
