(...) I built the switcher last night. It works totally awesome. It’s the best design I’ve seen and built so far. The only problem I found is the motor gives off a lot of torque when the switch is done being switched. Sometimes the motor would pull (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Here are some pictures of the barriers. (URL) think Larry gave a decent description of how these were made. The plexiglass is 8" high, I used a 24"x48" sheet and cut it into 3 pieces.

If you had several of these at various stations you'd get random behaviour... sometimes monorails (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

This is a little off-topic, but hey, you knew that when you saw who wrote it. At the show this weekend, I started thinking, "Wouldn't it be neat to have a mindstorms monorail station that stopped each train for about 20 seconds, made the ding-dong (...)

So I got some ZNAP motor packs and now it works great. I used the direct (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
