Has anyone made any modifications to 4561. I think it COULD be a nice train but it needs help. And I need some help for ideas. I was think of a commuter like in Chicago. Help. Mike (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

Your numbers aren't quite correct. The speed of light is 982,080,000 fps or 0.000,000,001,018 seconds per foot. That yields a value of 0.002036 microseconds for a "radar foot"; 12 inches out, 12 inches back. You are NOT going to measure distance (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
