Okay folks, Here's a Technic challenge to get all y'all hyped for train1: Build a mechanism that mounts on a locomotive, that can disconnect the car behind it. What I would like is an RCX based switcher engine that pushes away the car coupled behind (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I would think that 4 x 8 and 4 x 16 would be considered as "Standard" sizes. Both will fit on a 6 x 34 Split-Level Train base. a standard height would be 3 bricks high plus one plate for a roof and 2 plates for the floor and raised base.

The idea is that before the train enters the loop, the reversing line is given the same polarity (at it's start) as the main line so the train (...)
