Reply to "TMCC Control With Arduino"

Please recommend a good trackside RFID reader, I've now decided that I need only one reader. Once my 4 trains pass the reader (in the middle of Block 2 of 12) just one time I can gather enough data to build my own train registration array and the automation will sync up with that so I can easily know which train (TMCC ENG #) is in each occupied block and sequence them around the layout. The registration array will be indexed by the TMCC engine number - 2, so our Engine 2 (PRR 0-4-0) will be array row 0. So I need a static trackside reader with USB (or some interface) back to the Arduino plus some small RFID transmitters to mount on/in each engine. That's 22 engines needing RFID transmitters so I would appreciate low cost. Any suggestions?
