Analog DC model train system and method of use

A system for use with an analog DC model train, the system comprising:

• a base unit configured to electronically communicate with a track of the analog DC model train, the base unit having:
• a receiver;
• one or more microcontrollers, having:
• a first microcontroller configured to receive a serial signal from the receiver and convert the serial signal into a 3 bit binary number;
• and
• a second microcontroller configured to receive the 3 bit binary number from the first microcontroller to process the command from the controller and store the first numerical value associated with the position of the digital stepper motor;
• wherein the second microcontroller drives the digital stepper motor;
• a potentiometer;
• a digital stepper motor connected to and configured to provide torque to turn the potentiometer, the digital stepper motor is directly connected to the potentiometer;
• a pin associated with the digital stepper motor;
• and
• a limit switch controlled by the pin;
• a controller configured to communicate wirelessly with the receiver, the controller having:
• a control configured to send a command to the base unit to set a first numerical value associated with a position of the digital stepper motor;
• wherein the first numerical value can be retrieved by the base unit based on commands from the controller to set the position of the digital stepper motor.
