Actually, I'd rather implement an over-the-rail bitbanging protocol
than talk to a proprietary controller via high-level RS-232 commands.
I want it to be completely open hardware and software. I guess it
might be easiest to copy the Märklin low-level protocol, so that I could
start with non-free locos, and upgrade them later one by one. :-) It
looks like there already is an active community, even in Sweden:
<http://www.marklin-users.net/>. But like I said, this is a long-term
project, maybe in 5 years when my sons will understand something about
programming.
