Here is an image with the elevations for the Train 6 layout. (URL) is only the positive elevations. We still need to figure out the negative elevation. However it will likely be around -20 Brick to the valley floor. Next I'll model instructions on (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Yep, I'm working on a prototype right now. It's a little boxy, but it works, and barely fits under that top rail. Runs on a 9V battery, so we'll just let it run around until the battery runs out. Derek (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

It's worth experimenting with once I get one. Still battery powered though, so I wouldn't (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I will definitely get another one of these up soon. Hopefully later today. I don't believe there are any significant changes since the last dinner version. I'd like to do the perimeter modules.
