    I like it! The original tube map was designed by Harry Beck, an technical draftsman, inspired by circuit diagrams and now the map has become a circuit.

      Harry beck’s design won 2 best British invention of the 21 century. first was the concord plane so you can imagine this little map is a big deal. Also many countries copy beck’s design

    Proud owner of a NYC board here. It was interesting during the height of the pandemic watching the board slowly go dark overnight for a system that normally runs 24/7. A temporary measure that was put in place for nightly disinfection.

    We bought one after watching this video and are very happy with it. Our unit was backordered when we placed the order. The company promised a certain delivery date and unit arrived right when they said it would. Setup was a bit tricky. It didn't work using two methods on my Android but finally worked using the "alternate" method on my Mac Mini. Just know you may have to read the install instructions carefully. Its beautiful and caused audible gasps in the room when it came on!

    I have the UK weather map. It's a daily joy; most of the time, UK weather moves from west to east, so as the lights change it's easy to see the rain approaching about 30 mins before it happens.

    I totally get the weather board, there are practical uses for it. And I also get the cleverness and ingenuity of the train boards. But am I missing something? Unless you live right by a tube station, what practical use are they. Or is it just that they look good?

    what a cool project! And since the Tube Network Map maybe one of the most iconic ones, a nice Art Piece for Train Nerds around the World.
    the only grip i have maybe the placementr of the powersource, one mounted on the Backside might be better so you don't have a cable sticking out at the side and it would be nice and flush and i wish a map for the Tram and S-Bahn Network for my Region would be viable, but well, don't everyone would also likes a Map from there home region?

    I really like the idea of a live led train and tube map, but I’m put off by the green printed circuit board mounting, If they had a resemblance to the familiar pdf train map I’d be interested, I used to handle PCBs for customer equipment, the green circuit boards were kept enclosed away from dust and static, that what these train boards remind me of.

    7:48 so I can see the section where there is track-sharing on the tube the LEDs light up for the correct line of the train. The Elizabeth line shares track with other services out east and west so does anyone know when a C2C train is at Stratford for example would it light up in purple or not at all (or on the Bakerloo west of Queen’s Park or Met north of Amersham)?Also where track is shared what would happen on the line diagrams?

    Very nice! Alas the price for the big map is outside my purchasing range. Just perhaps they might be able to scale up production with an advert like this, and advert this particular posting certainly is, but I fear they won't get the price down to something I could consider paying.

    I have an idea for black Northern Line LEDs: Order the white LEDs with a black plastic/shielding or paint them black, then have the default colour be white, turning the LED off where the train is.
    Or if you have black permenant marker, you could draw a thin circle ⭕ around the LED's window to make it look black and colour the rest of the plastic in...

I wonder if you can go in search for a class 345 with USB ports fitted then start your new tube map board and track it without getting lost in the core section then I can use my signal maps and do the same thing. Let's see which one is better. I would win this challenge.
