Development of DCC++ has

Development of DCC++ has stopped. You need to look at DCC++EX as it has now replaced it. 

https://dcc-ex.com/

They have their own you tube channel.

Functionally the same but you no longer need to use jumper wires. RPI3 would connect the same. If you don't mind spending a little bit more on the RPI, I recommend RPI4 instead as it's faster. It should start JMRI faster. Use same instructions to install JRMI as RPI3.

So what happened to ...

... the rotating scenery thing?  Did you show that off somewhere else?  Tech comes and goes, but great implementations are forever.

That ...

... looks like a lot of work. Interesting concept for swapping out, for example, era specific structures. Or progressing a mine or something over several decades.
