(...) No, the switches are WAY to stiff. You have to open up the switch and shave off most of the bumps that cause the friction... There's lots of delicate stuff in there. I made the mistake of using one of my switches that was flaky to begin with (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) That's what I figured... I've been looking at the layout and I don't see any easy way to move things around with out causing absolute hell... Sigh... (See other message to Byran) Dean (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Oh dear... I'm building the test for the program building of the hogwarts area and realized that my modified switch is in fact the wrong direction! Ugg... After the horror of the first switch I don't really want to do the other one... Anyone willing (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) If you want the train to stop at the station you must isolate the track and run it by the MS. (...) There is one magnet sensor before the switch track.

(...) Ok I think I've left enough room for all of the above. But why do we need a (motor?) wire running to the track? Also, I'm not quite clear as to the sensor you're talking about... Do we have to place it inside the mountain? Perhaps the dry-run (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

This is Alex using Dean's account (don't ask). Okay, folks, it's time for me to publicly admit that I just can't do the truck. I have tried several times and nothing comes together. I only wanted a wardrobe/make up truck (just the trailer part, not (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
