(...) Hallo Reinard, Ik ben ook bezig met een 20 brede 1600. Maar dan een 1800. Genoemd naar mijn geboorteplaats Tilburg, de 1851. Misschien kunnen we de locomotieven eens naast elkaar zetten, dat lijkt me erg gaaf! Hoop wat van je te horen dan kun (...)

(...) But each channel has 2 separate controls, red & blue, so you can control up to 8 trains without resorting to modifications, as long as each only uses 1 output. ROSCO (9 years ago, 10-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)

Anyone know if it is possible to hack the Power Functions remotes & receivers to operate on a different 'band'? GMLTC is working on plans for our next club layout, and we might have seven operating loops. If we are running PF trains, we'll have some (...) (9 years ago, 3-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)
