(...) Good. (...) Sounds good. I've finished the Hogwarts program. I've also added another sensor that can detect when the track is busy and delay the hogwarts from leaving. This will allow us to run two Passenger trains safely! It's going to be (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc, lugnet.trains)
