If that's not good, let me know and I could find another (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | (...) Great! Where is the hole or is it completely hidden? Can you leave a little hole facing the middle of the layout so that I can IR it commands without having to remove it each time? If the hole was 6x3 that should be fine. (6 long, 3 high) the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | | (...) Ok, now that we've got all our directions sorted out, I've found a new location for the RCX. :) It's inside the northern-most piece of mountain. The hole for IR commands faces east, towards the rest of the layout. You can also run wire out (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Another sensor inside the mountain (so we know when the train has cleared the switch) A motor wire (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

| | | | | | | | (...) 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)

And there is a light sensor just after the switch track. (...) Yes. I have 7 more sensors (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

That's where the Hogwarts switch is (well, closer to it anyway), and the Willow will be located just to the left of the mountain ridge, behind Hogsmeade station. Shouldn't the (...)

Yours can be anywhere since it's just a motor and you can put more then one connector together to make (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
