Bob, The large screen is a good idea. I've been wanting to update the monitor for my model workshop/train layout PC, maybe I should go for a large one. My son uses a 30" one for his photo editing, which makes most other monitors look small.
I thought that giving a brakeman/conductor a wireless tablet computer for turnout control was one option around my issue of needing to control turnouts from multiple positions. I periodically get rid of some of my old computer hardware when they have electronic recycling, but I think I still have some IDE hard drives around, along with some old floppy and zip drives. Sometimes I cannibalize old printers, scanners, CD players, etc. for parts like small motors, gears, drive assemblies, etc. for future layout animation projects.

I imagine somebody will figure out a way of making it work. Fixing a mount above the workbench would help with the spilled Cokes, super-glue and brass filings that plague my little 14" of space! It would be nice to actually have the plans up on a large (like 27") screens like the CAD guys have. Because it's nice to build 3/16 models with G scale plans! Those screens can also be used for virtual control panels that are the coming things--no strings attached Bob! BTW, I have four Mac's in my studio, some just to run old, but neat software and scanners. We also have three at the house that run even older items--SCSI anybody!
