Great! Where is the hole or is it completely hidden? Can you leave a little

one wire going out to the Sensor east.
Another sensor  inside the mountain (so we know when the train has cleared the

the hogwarts area)
and one more for the 'tree'.

Not a bad little deal. Now i just have to build it... heh heh.

(...) 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)
