Trains and Robotics can finally reach a common goal... :)

So I guess those RCX's (especially the RCX 1.0's) do come in handy after all.
Actually, it looks very neat.
This is something that we should be directing... now all I need is a couple
of dcc decoders and a RCX remote. :(

Last week, my order from Shop@Home arrived with the Sante Fe cars, kit, etc.
Since then, I have gutted a (spare) 10002 Club Car and "retro-fitted" it to
"Sante Fe" specs. Please Note, this is still a work in progress. (need to
put an order in to BrickLink.
Here is a "teaser" look:

(by clicking the top picture, it will bring you straight to the brickshelf
folder, which is pending approval).
I know its nothing remarkable, but I had (well still having) fun making the
change-over.
Thanks,
Ben
