As some of you are probably aware, there are people who use DCC controls that allow them to operate two trains independantly on the same stretch of track. This system, however, requires that you hack open motor bogeys to install the DCC control (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.nxt)
