|
| (...) Wow, those guys went all out, they even "towed" one truck with another. Pretty nice. At some times it was hard to tell those were RC and not real trucks. Speaking of this, when is our next get together? Since I missed the last one, I need to (...) (19 years ago, 2-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) I just joined the yahoo group and downloaded and installed TrackDraw. I like it, they are both great. TrackDraw does seem to be superior with tables, etc. Thanks for all the advice. We have another show coming up next weekend, so hopefully, I (...) (19 years ago, 1-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.ulug)

| (...) I did some testing with encouraging results and programmed the robot to respond to sound this morning. My testing indicated that even if the sound was straight ahead, one sensor gave a higher raw signal then the other so I came up with a (...) (19 years ago, 1-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

|
| Mike & All, (...) Indeed. As a matter of fact, when I last tried Trackdraw, I could not get it to work (IT restrictions, etc. 2+ jobs ago?) but I saw that I have Net on my computer here, and just got it running. I will have to play around with it (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.ulug)

|
| Brian & All, (...) Indeed. At MichLUG's first show at GATS in January of 2001, (URL) did pretty much the same thing - a lot of people brought stuff, and we basically filled in places as we went along. I am not sure if we had an actual layout in mind (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.ulug)

| (...) Scott, Thanks for all the positive feedback. Getting started is very difficult. I was surprised at how challenging it is to design a lay-out at the show and then fill in the space with buildings, etc. Question to all Train Clubs. How do you (...)

| Inspired by the gentleman selling NXTs for $200 (I didn't have a checkbook with me or I probably would have got one), I did some searching on the web (I think I used Froogle) and found them for $199.99 from A Child's Delight, a toy store in (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
