(...) Good news. Thanks for the update. (...) This is very good news! I will add you to the 'attending' list. Saturday is actually the day I'm worried least about, since obviously most who are attending have said Sat is good, with Fri and Sun being (...) (21 years ago, 19-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Hey Allen, The gang is comming over to my place today to discuss the hobby show layout and the train 6 layout. FYI I should be able to be there for all four days (perhaps not the full day on Saturday) But I can help with setup. (I'll be (...) (21 years ago, 19-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'm not sure if I've helped or I've hindered: (URL) colour balance is really off due to the flash. I disabled the flash but those pictures' colour temperature is very reddish, so short of sitting around for several hours readjusting colour, (...)

(...) Aw, that sucks! The third output is like a little dream feature they put in-back when we got the 5600, everyone said, "Boy, this sucks!" and listed off all the features they really wanted: Modular motors, RC receiver, steering servo, removable (...)

(...) Thanks for the news Calum! However, the 8376 has one key difference from the 8475 (not 8375): (URL) it doesn't have the auxiliary 3rd output on the receiver. Instead, the paddles on the bottom of the transmitter are used to get the car to do a (...) (21 years ago, 19-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

The 8376 RC Racer Radio Shack Exclusive is in Canadian Radio Shacks for $119.00. It looks like it has many of the key RC components of the 8375 for about 33% cheaper. The 4589 Nitro Flash (The IR racer) is $38 at Walmart. The receiver/motor/steering (...) (21 years ago, 18-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I’m not sure (Chris, correct me if I’m wrong), but, I thought I heard Calum, Jeff, Derek and Dave discussing trains in general and finally coming to the realization that continued involvement in that area was just silly. I’m pretty sure that (...) (21 years ago, 18-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Not to sound like a pain in the butt... but, I do need to hear from the last of you (you know who you are) that haven't confirmed your participation in the show. If you (...)

(...) Couldn't you achieve the same end result by using just one sensor port? And signal EoT by changing the port from Passive to Active and back? (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Do the control labs have 2 inputs and 2 outputs? Can you just hook one in & out together, and say that is the signal line for one robot? (then do the same for the other?) Then, when one signal is received, the control lab sends out a signal on (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
