It's a challenge, trying to reduce a problem to its simplest solution so I can control it with an RCX (or two, (...) (23 years ago, 18-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | Module Standards?

| Hi - After discovering Ben Fleskes' module PDF (really well done!), I'd like to know a bit about standards. Most specifically, what module standards do GMLTC and MichLTC use? I ask this because those two clubs are the closest to us geographically, (...) (23 years ago, 6-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
