Subject: Train Set Control

Hi

Despire having much better things to do over summer, I was going to try to
sort out my train set which I intend to control with my trusty old BBC. The
current 'plan' is to use the printer port as 8 outputs, the user port as
8 IO lines, with the 8 printer port lines being used to 'select' which
signal/point/whatever you need to change, them using the user port to do it,
so I can connect (theroetically) 255 things to it.

Has anyone on here tried to connect a train set to a BBC, did it work? Has
anyone managed to get those nice fancy 'send the train a message down the
tracks' things to work with a beeb?

Thanks
