In Jake's notes, (URL) mentions a "preliminary wagon design" slide. Does anyone have a screen capture of this? Bryan (19 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

Found it via the Eurobricks forum. Remote baseplate sensor (URL) wagon (URL) track (URL) do like the color schemes shown in the baseplate sensor and wagon shots. -- Bryan "Bryan Kinkel" <helpdesk@loseyourmind.com> wrote in message (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes they don't look too bad at all. I do hope the sensor is separate to the basplate though, so it can be built into other places in models. And I know they're only design pics, but that looks much like a current train motor. I wonder if the (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Is there even going to be a new motor? You could theoretically stick an ordinary battery box in the train, power a sensor/controller unit from the battery, then that feeds power into the top of a standard motor. If the receiver is separate (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Okay, thinking about this some more: The discussion on this has already mentioned that the sensor is part of the baseplate. Therefore it makes sense to include the battery box whilst you're re-designing the baseplate. My guess is that's what (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Of course, what would be a real gift to the train-heads (if it's not too late Jake?) would be to make the IR baseplate modular - make the middle bit solid with technic holes at each end, then have two identical plug-on baseplate ends to make (...)

(...) Thanks for finding the images. The wagon is much more complex that I expected. I had been looking at the Duplo wagons, expecting to be like them or very much juniorised. Will 5-7 year olds be able to build the wagons? I tell parents of young (...) (19 years ago, 24-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains)
