I've decided to build the container loader/unloader based on our LM Series (Option MX) robot. It requires a minimal footprint, and offers... um... well, things. And it looks cool. (URL) Iain (23 years ago, 30-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.

If you weren't already aware, your reversing loop needs to be electrically isolated from the main line. 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 (...)
