Universal Railway Bus (opens in new tab)

Pretty cool for train hobbyists.

...although from the title, I was expecting some kind of bus that runs on train tracks :P

Any suggestions for a semi usable track system for moving small items around the house or office?

Most such systems are made for industry and very expensive.

Would be fun to make a railway that could move soft drinks around the building or pick items from the shed and deliver to the workshop.

Can it work with Märklin ? Märklin runs over CAN, in a well-documented way (but docs only in German, argh).

Does this work with jmri?

This is neat, and as someone who wants to eventually build a layout in his basement I'm glad there's continued development of these types of projects, but I'm not sure I see how this is going to be simpler than DCC. The complexity of programming DCC is called out, but reprogramming and designing an "infinitely variable" Arduino based solution is almost certainly going to be way more complex

Maybe that complexity is the selling point, in that you may be able to do things DCC can't, but approaching this as easier than DCC seems off base
