Isn't that the seme thing? If you modify the train motor to accept power
from the RCX, you have wheels that roll nicely on the train track.
Anyway, have you tried the small yellow/white wheels that come with the
solid rubber tires? IIRC they are about the size of the track. You could
also use larger wheels, and have the track run on the rim of them.
