Ya, something similar, but with only one RCX and using my custom sensors.
Mine would work like this.
Custom Light (Touch) sensor on both incoming tracks. One more on out going track.
(To tell when the train was done.)
Relays to switch the power for each train's chunk of track.
Some sort of switcher for the points at the end so that the trains end up back on
their proper tracks.
Then I can add lights into bricks for the signals by taping into the relays... A
bit of work but the crowd effect would be great...
Something like that...
Also, I want to build the 4565 Alternate design (The steam loco) Do you think
that would go over well?

| (...) I'm sure it would. Matt's Train Depot has instructions for a steamer, but I can't remember if it's the alternate to 4565 or 4559. Kevin ---...--- Personal Lego Web page: (URL) Park: Limited edition kit (URL) Kits & Custom Lego models: (URL) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
