I recall reading many years ago that a lot of pioneering work was done in the early days of computers (early 60s?) at MIT, in particular in an organisation called the TMRC (Tech Model Railroad Club).

It still exists, see http://tmrc.mit.edu

Could be a very valuable place to start asking questions!
