Al model train ... I was not expecting that article... To much AI in my life

  Ya, I was wondering if this made it to the top because people though "Al" was "AI," heh.

    does it really matter? it's a good topic either way. actually it's even better because it isn't about AI.

      Sure doesn't! Was just a funny thought (depending on your definition of funny, of course).

  Much like Factorio - bringing too much tech/automation into your hobbies (such as model trains) just turns a fun weekend hobby into "work". It's really cool to see the progress with digital controls in model trains (read up about Neil Young and Lionel [0]) but I don't want to have to ask AI to rewrite my train handling config files just to get some little motor to spin.

    > I don't want to have to ask AI to rewrite my train handling config files just to get some little motor to spin. I reckon you could probably still figure out how to just edit the text file. And if it's not fun to do that, then, surely it's just not the right hobby?
