Nice Job.
One of these days, I'm going to build something for a show. Really. I'm not
kidding. :)
I went to the train show. (my first train show) I expected more from the other
train (non-LEGO) set-ups. With most of them, it was pretty easy to see where
one person's "section" stopped, and another began. I think you guys did a very
nice job of blending sections together.
And, the detail was very cool. All the cartoon characters. But couldn't you
find a dog to play the part of Scooby Doo? :)
I like the drive-in, but I have an idea for next time. I've been wanting to
mount my x-10 camera on a train. The video could easily be sent to the
drive-in. I noticed someone else already did that at another show:

Sounds like a popular idea.
So, I have all the stuff required. The camera, the flat-panel display. I just
need to figure out the best way to power the camera.
What do you think?
Nice Job

| If you run it on a DCC loop, you could power it off the tracks, or, depending on the power requirement, off a DCC decoder's accessory output. In the former case, you could even use an RCX as a power conditioner ((URL) put Ralph Hempel's DCC encoder (...) (21 years ago, 20-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.us.indylug)

| Hi Steve, Let me chime in and say this is a fantastic idea!!!!! If you need any assistance with some train and or monorail platforms to mount the camera on I'd be more than willing to help out.
