Steve, I have also used Mindstorms to run a train, like this. But I used it in a railroad yard, not for a trolley. But it’s basically the same concept. I put the touch sensor at a 90 degree angel with the track and about one brick away from track at (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains)

Well having been intrigued by all the talk of Busy Bee I decided I was curious enough to see what the shop was really like. So on the way back from shopping in Manchester on Saturday I and a couple of friends took a detour and called in. You'd never (...) (25 years ago, 18-Oct-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk)
