You look over your shoulder and your friend is still hard at work with the wreck crane cleaning up a derailment that was intentionally caused for his pleasure. Your model railroad layout is alive.

Today the microprocessor technology revolution offers model railroaders capabilities that we only could dream about before. Microcontrollers allow manufacturers to develop affordable products that allow model railroaders to precisely control locomotives, as well as lights, switch motors, and other layout functions.
