I put together a short clip of some of the trains running around the train4

It's mostly just trains driving around-the onboard footage was REALLY jerky.
(ie, jerky enough to cause data errors on the tape-probably due to vibration
from the contact)

Way cool! Well worth the download. Can anyone post more details about the
container crane? (around 00:56 footagewise) Is that a magnet or something
else picking up the container?

I SO want to see that video (I'm at work where mpeg's are blocked..) Oh well
I only have 3 hours left at work! As for the crane, Yes magnets were used to
pick up the containers. It worked quite well, when it worked. Only twice did
it drop it properly, I believe that the first time was when Calum was filming...

It is still quite buggy, I was not using any sensors, so there were timing
issues that needed to be resolved. Like most of my Mindstorms projects, I
was this close 'holding my fingers 2.54 cm apart'
