Is there anyone from Seattle/Everett that is planing on making this trip on Sunday that would be interested in car-pooling? I would be willing to drive. Post a message or you can email me at cameron@minichfamily.com. Heck if there are a bunch of (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.sealug, lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

WARNING, VIOLENCE IN THE NEXT LINE: I HATE MICROSFOT, I HATE OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I HATE BILL GATES Okay, whew, I feel a little better. Just wondering...

(...) I'm sorry, Dean (and Alex). Perhaps that joke was in poor taste. I thought I'd give you a little "Oh no" moment, and then make it all better again with the "Just kidding ...". Backfired, I guess. I really am sorry, and didn't intend to upset (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

These things work with the RCX! Up to three units (6 motors total)will work! Wow!!! Here's the RCX code! (URL) received the new 8539 (Manas) in the mail yesterday. I have not built the models. But I have taken the receiver unit to pieces and (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Don't worry about it Dean - what we've got planned will wow the crowd already. Besides, you've worked wonders with the existing sensors. Yeah maybe for the next show we could think about adding that part in... -Bryan (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) If we are to pull off the station 9 3/4 part as well we will need: 1. Motor switcher for the Switch Track 2. Reed sensor in the building like the other one 3. Light Sensor and light combo for main track 4. Wires 5. RCX Brick 6. Program I don't (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) My message vanished... Damn it... Robin, that's NOT funny. People have spent a lot of time, effort & money on their items. You shouldn't be joking around like that. You upset two people for sure... Dean (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I don't. I just have the switch. Can anyone make one? If it's manual you don't have to worry about motor stalls and what not and the switch is modified. And yes, the switching would isolate the siding and stop the train. (...) I thought his (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Well one thing Alex did was to convert most (if not all) of the outside baseplates into 32x32s in the hopes of reducing the likelihood of "flipping." Will that suffice? Do we need to attach the inside baseplates? -Bryan (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

I do have a few thoughts about the layout that I'll throw up here. Dean, you mentioned extra speakers for your "multimedia presentation". Do you have those ready to use? Do they require power? We could probably just put them under the table there, (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
