The horror is over!
I've made the modification (See public message) and it's working fine. (Just gluing
now) Except for a scar there is nothing out of the ordinary. It will work great
for the show.
Also, I finished the RCX Track power switcher. I was going to use a relay but came
up with a ALL LEGO solution. It's cute. heh heh.
So, as soon as that switch track is dry I can continue on the setup and programing.
I should even have the 'humping willow' program in place soon too. EVIL GRIN.
