Any ideas for an RIS controlled train display?

How 'bout a layout with:

   1. RCX-controlled level crossing.
   2. RCX line follower whose path goes through the level crossing.
   3. RCX-controlled train with a few tipper cars.
   4. Soccer ball mine with an RCX-run loader that puts balls in the cars.
   5. RCX-controlled dump station that empties the tippers.

There are some non-trivial problems in this project,  which should make it
interesting for the display.  But, a lot of the work on the sub-projects
can be done independently.  And the line follower and/or level crossing
could be dropped without much damage if there's not enough horsepower to do
everything.

I have some doubts about the feasibility of coordinating the RCXs.  Anybody
got experience getting them to communicate with one another?

I'd sure like to. Having a job gets in the way, but it would be nice if we could coordinate an evening or afternoon. Any ideas for an RIS controlled train display? Log mill? Coal mine? What would work well? There's enough time to build something, (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
