You beat me to it!
I've been toying with this sort of idea in my head for a couple of months. I'm
hung up on the idea of making the pushers look like cargo loaders of some sort
though (fork-lifts maybe?).
My thinking was to build two of these and set them up on opposite sides of a
train layout. An RCX would somehow stop a train, then check to see if the
waggon was loaded. If not, it would be loaded, then continue on to the next
station, where it could be unloaded, thereby setting up automated cargo delivery
for the entire layout.
Nice job. It's nice to see that the concept works.
