Hello,
MATRA of France makes an automated light-rail system employing rubber tyres
for guidance and support, which runs on what essentially looks like a
concrete trough (although a little more complicated). Systems in existance
include Lille and Toulouse. They're automated and employ two-car trainsets.
I've always been fascinated with such systems, so I thought I'd have a go at
building an automated system. After all, I hadn't played with my 7722 in
ages, so why not put the track to use...?
Here's a video of my first attempt.

I've uploaded pictures of the bogies and car to the /temp directory too:

The RCX and drive motor is hidden within the cabin.

| You have produced a great model and a very excellent movie. Your design is, as usual, quite clever. Maybe you could provide a URL showing the original Metro. -- Bob Fay rfay@we.mediaone.net The Shop (URL) Transcanner" <hendryjr@oxford.net> wrote in (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics)
