Anyone know of a wall mounted train tracker?

[Class325Guy]

Hello. In the past, I seem to remember seeing somewhere online a site that sells wall mounted live train display that show the layout of a route and the current position of the various trains, however I don't remember what the routes were or if they were from the US or UK.

So does anyone know of something like this for British routes?

Thanks

Well I am thinking of something that shows the layout of a section of route like a train dispatcher would see and show's the current position of the trains on that route?

For the UK, all you would need in theory is a 'smart' TV with a web browser, mounted on the wall and pointed at one of the live train map sites like Traksy or opentraintimes etc. ?

e.g.

TRAKSY.UK

Live train maps and timetables

traksy.uk

Live map of Letchworth to Kings Lynn

See trains move in real-time on our live map of Letchworth to Kings Lynn

Yep, that's what we resort to in our mess room during times of disruption. Put Traksy on the Smart TV and bang goes homes under the hammer. One day we will get a second TV rather than a useless departure board so home under the hammer can continue.

Is this what you had in mind:

Sorry for the late reply, but something like that is exactly what I'm looking for. Although I wish they didn't just have a basic circuit board look, but it's better than nothing.

A pity that they don’t offer boards in other colours; PCB lacquers exist in several other colours e.g. black.
