Summon the Storm - I Built a Thunderstorm for My N Scale (Dystopian) Railroad

The UHX Atmospheric Control Division has been experimenting with unauthorized weather manipulation.

The latest improvement to the Union Harbour Express is a fully operational thunderstorm, complete with nighttime illumination and randomized lightning strikes.

Using some inexpensive automotive lighting, an old Arduino, four COB LEDs, and a handful of electronic components, I've managed to introduce some decidedly unpleasant weather to the layout.

Six minutes of atmospheric experimentation, followed by a quick look at how I built it.

Because apparently a post-apocalyptic model railroad wasn't gloomy enough already.

Welcome to N Scale Dystopia.

I'm figuring a lot of this out along the way, so it's always nice to have you join me on the journey and offer support, but more importantly, feedback! https://www.youtube.com/@NScaleDystopia?sub_confirmation=1
