About
It started with the trains outside our window.
The idea
I wanted to spend more of that time watching the trains with my children. Knowing what was coming meant opening a live tracking website, and I wanted the answer to be there when we looked over.
So I built a display for it. Something we could give a place in our home, glance at through the day and use to follow the railway we already enjoyed.

A finished display at home.
How it is made
Each display is assembled and tested by hand in Hertfordshire. The enclosure is 3D-printed and finished with a satin coating.

Assembled and tested by hand: the enclosure, battery, board and e-paper panel.

A low-power board, a rechargeable battery and the e-paper panel that holds the last image without drawing power.
