The Supply Yard is a collection of the components in use on the Mill Valley Lines model railroad. These are items that I have personally used and can recommend based on my experience. These are not endorsements, just a list of what I have found to work well for my application.
Command Control
Digital Command Control (DCC) components and general communication-related hardware for the railroad.
UWT-100 Universal WiFi Throttle
A WiFi throttle that can be used with the CS-105 command station or any other WiFi-enabled controller system.

LCC-LocoNet Gateway (Auto-switching)
A gateway that allows LCC and LocoNet to communicate, enabling the use of LocoNet devices on an LCC network.

LocoBuffer-NG (Next Generation)
A USB interface for connecting LocoNet devices to a computer, allowing for easy integration with JMRI or other software. Note: This is needed to program LocoNet devices, such as the QuadLN_S board over LocoNet, as the LCC Gateway does not support programming.

TrainSpotter
An easy-to-use infrared train detection sensor that can be placed between the rails to detect train presence. I use these for train detection in the staging yards of the layout, so that I can turn off track power but still detect when a train is present.
