--SNIPPED-- (...) I can't answer the question but it might be useful if you could do up a CAD diagram of the sensor and train mechanisms for easy reference. I'm afraid I can't really understand what you mean here. It would also give a way of (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.trains)

I can't remember much about the 8-wide (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) The latest idea was to have one RCX control train detection and switching (off the main line) for up to three stations and have another RCX for each station (load/unload/train-control) Each "siding" RCX would have to make sure it doesn't put (...)
