NGLTC (and other train club) members have been getting creative with their
mindstorms.

1) Rail Racers!

2) Lewis Valentine has made a working train drawbridge on the NGLTC layout.
It's taken him a lot of tinkering, but it works very well!

3) Street Trolley.  I know Chris Leach (not sure which of the Midwest area clubs
he's at, but I know that someone did a trolley that would go back and forth on a
single section of track.  I do not recall directly who did it.  I  know that
NGLTC did a MARTA (our regional commuter transit) line between two
stations--basically the same thing as a street trolley.

(...) What can you do with an RCX? That doesn't sound very off-topic. :) (...) One name to start with: Brian Alano. He's a member of IndyLUG, and he's done some amusement park rides, and things like that. (...) Most of these things you can ask about (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
