I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'use locomotion' nor am I
suer how a race would work, but your ideas are appreciated. I hadn't
thought about not using electricity at all.
The only train stuff I have is a couple of blue rails... another dead
end, but maybe someone else can do something with the idea.
