Thank you for your interest in Automatic Train Control.

    We are continually looking for sponsors for Automatic Train Control.

Goals

    My goal is to allow the general internet public to operate trains across the internet.

Costs


    My expenses associated with Automatic Train Control and internet locomotive control are:

        rent for housing a modular layout;

       hydro-electric power; to operate a digital command control layout with computers, room lighting
       high speed internet connection; the system needs to be on for the public to enjoy
       cost of equipment and maintenance; routers, computers and peripherals, digital command control equipment, sound decoders, decoders, locomotive, rolling stock
       improvements to the experience; adding backdrops, trees, buildings, and other effects
       shipping; costs associated in operating other layouts remotely across the nation
       monthly specials; giving prizes to draw more model railroaders

Providership

    As a sponsor, I'm asking that you contribute to the financial expenses.  And in return I will provide the following:
