I have one operating a turntable for my model railway, using a motor
shield to drive a stepper motor and an LCD shield with buttons as an
interface - although I may change to an ethernet shield later.

I am planning to use another to drive a digitaly encoded signal to act
as a DCC controller for the locos (DCC++) using another motor shield and
an ethernet shield.

Finally, I may also drive point motors via relay boards, again along
with an ethernet shield.

Initially they will be controlled using a spare PC - probably running JMRI.

In the end the three system will all then be able to be controlled from
handheld units either wired for ethernet or using wi-fi to connect to
the network.
