Product pictures and the board

The pictures of TrainTicker are 3D renders of the real board, with every lit LED drawn from its own firmware. The desks, props and lighting in them are CC0 assets from Poly Haven, which need no attribution, but they get one here anyway.

Photographs of the railway

The photographs of stations and trains on the homepage come from Wikimedia Commons. They are shared under Creative Commons licences that ask for a credit, so each one is credited under the picture and listed here with its source.
