(...) I think it's a good idea. Especially if the train yard is off only 1 line (likely), then we should either be careful to have a 2 way connection, or make sure that our engines run in 1 direction only.

Thanks John, When I get to that stage, I might borrow those plates from you. I guess James has used regular lights, (but it would take a lot of them!), to do something similar. James could you bring it for a demonstration, the next time we meet. (...) (24 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug)
