I've been planning this video since last year, once I got going it took a few weeks to complete. I've seen people ask which system they should use to control Lego trains and it's quite a question to answer. I wanted to present as much info as possible so Lego train fans can make the best informed decision. Like I said in the video I could not have done this without help from all the creators listed below. Be sure to check them out!
