My daughter/and school is planning to create a train model for the school exhibition.
So I am looking for advice on creating a toy train engine.
The size we need for engine is around 1 feet, so its not a small toy, but should be big enough.
I need advice on planning, How BIG motors it will need, Battery or AC/DC converter.
There is also a requirement for the train to run back and forth, so there will need to be two sensors which can be utilized to track when the train is approching walls so it can return back and run in reverse.
I am myself a computer engineer, can do the technical stuff but doesnt have expertise to figureout all circuit stuff my self. Any help will be appriciated.
