| Many thanks for your excellent and interesting work done here, Philo! I own the new Power function trains for not much more than a week and found them wonderful and very sufficient until now. These new PF trains are strong, fast and it is so much (...) (15 years ago, 5-Sep-10, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| Hi Ludo, (...) I don't know precisely for the 9V motor casing, but I think it is possible. For sure, RC and PF motors are mechanically compatible (see (URL) after moderation: (URL) Anyhow, great from LEGO to use a better (...) ...and for RC train! (...)

| (...) Hi Philo, Thanks for this information. I can imagine that you have only one motor for testing purpose, but if possible, can you open the PF motor to see if it can be placed in the 9V train motor casing? I'm convinced that several people are (...) (15 years ago, 2-Sep-10, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| (...) Okay, this is awesome work, Philippe, to see the comparison of the new PF motor vs the 9 volt motor. As an eight wider, I always lamented the underpowered 9 volt motor in its attempts to pull heavy, 8 wide consists. But it wasn't such an issue (...)

| (...) Well, I've built a 2 sensor version of Brian's idea using parallel sequence bars (I tried your idea Kevin, got stuck, then Brian chimed in). I just did some testing by building a rig to press the 2 sensors "simultaneously." I was able to get (...) (15 years ago, 26-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

| (...) I like it! As they say "There's more than one way to skin a cat". I work on computer servers that have 128 CPUs per chip and 512 CPUs per pizza sized box, and I knew that there is no true parallelism here with the NXT :) I like your design, (...)
