Okay folks,

Here's a Technic challenge to get all y'all hyped for train1:  Build a
mechanism that mounts on a locomotive, that can disconnect the car behind it.

What I would like is an RCX based switcher engine that pushes away the car
coupled behind it, while remaining still.  Maybe a plunger device, or a worm
drive:

(but vertically)

Control would be via IR (remote or tower).

Calum
