Hi William

I found out when I ran the train using the Discovery Scout that it just hurtled around the track, then backwards and forwards if I used the pre-programmed commands. I have not experimented too much with the RCX, but thanks for the suggestion. I am just hoping that at some point I will have more time to put everything together and see what I can come up with.
