The digital railway is manufactured by Marklin of Germany. It is connected through a serial port to several personal computers. The trains are controlled by way of digital commands coded in a programming language. Commands can be coded to control speed and direction of the trains as well as the headlights (which are useful when going through the big tunnel). The digital railway, in turn, communicates with the pc by way of sensors located under the track.
