Field notes

The described setup can run on a Raspberry Pi in its own case or on Windows, with devices on the network finding it at dccbox.local through a browser. Locomotive programming includes a track-presence check and CV backup; a separate recording mode for turning operation into editable routes is explicitly marked as coming.
