Hi, i have a G scale garden railway with stations & sidings. I want to have come up on a screen when a train enters & leaves an area, "like a station. What seems the simplest is RF ID linked to Google sheets & as a train enters a station, the train Name/type/date/time comes up on a screen & the same when it leaves. I have some Q&A's please.
1. Best frequency to use?. Im assuming 125 as some of the tags could be close together.
2. I'm using an attendance script to clock trains in & out of areas.
3. Will i need a complete RF ID unit/kit for each pick up point
4. The trains are battery powered & would run 4 max at any one time. With a possible 8 areas to monitor in's & out's. Am i better with the RF tags in the train track or on the trains.

Thanks
