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

in, would it not isolate the siding and park the train? Better than
nothing.
As far as getting some other help. you guys have the phone numbers
for the rest of our not-so-vocal members. Call them up. Mark (I
think is his name), the robotics guy, is probably coming to the show.
I'm making a T-shirt for him, which he's already paid me for, so he's
definitely interested. Call him, and see if he can spare an RCX for a
weekend. You can set up the program with all your stuff, and just
drop his RCX in there.
