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.

Nice AVI! I quite enjoyed it!

Good Show.
