Arduino has revolutionized several hobbies.  A former co-worker was big Lego c
ollector, and had several Lego train sets, plus custom 3D printed track
sections.  If you never dealt with Lego trains, they are controlled via
infrared remote control.  I've read where the remote is replaced by an Ardiuin
o is a central tower, and sends IR signals to the train.  You could place
motion sensors to trigger the train's behavior, such as stop at a station
after 3 laps, change tracks, or other ways to automate lights and
accessories.
