I'd LOVE to be able to build a RCX controlled section that brings in theHogwarts and stops it at it's station but I just don't have enough bricks or other parts for that. Too bad non of the other Mindstorms members are helping out... Dean (23 years ago, 28-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Huh? I don't quite understand your message, Dean. Don't we already have Hogwarts Express stopping at its station, then driving off? Or are you talking about something totally different? -Bryan (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Ya, that would be cool! We'll just have to do it manually. Do you have another little motorized "switching house"? I know you have the right point already ;-). We could forget the RCX and just have a remote control for the switch, which would (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Oh if it's an RCX you need, I've got one myself... Version 1.0. If you want me to bring it Dean, let me know! -Bryan (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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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 anyone DOES wish to make a simple switch motor that doesn't have the house here are some instructions. I don't think it would wok to well with an unmodified motor but with one it would be fine. You'll have to make sure the clearance for the item (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
