(...) Ditto on the monorail track for me. Also, I now have the 3 short directional control pieces needed for our layout, so Kevin won't need to help there. I'll provide all the monorail track and connectors. I've got lots of supports, but probably (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) OK. DId you say you were short of ramps, Robin? I can bring those if needed. It also strikes me that we need another directional control piece - at the m-station by the docks, BOTH sides of the loop ought to have a control switch so we can (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Not short of ramps. We've spec'd out just 1 "ascent" and 1 "descent" in our layout, requiring two track pieces for each. I've got 2 "sets" of each so I'm covered. As far as the other control at the dock station, that's not a bad idea. I'll (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Both tracks are (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) If we can come up with a switch and push system I could make a program that would send each monorail out and wait for it to return before sending the OTHER one... I've always been annoyed with the fact that the monorails SNAP back without (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
