Hi Ben F.! Maybe all your work is a little needless, since there are rumors going around here in Germany, saying Lego is going to invent new more realistic trains next year, or even late this year around X-mas......

Maybe it's just one of those rumors. I haven't seen any pics so far and maybe the result is something like the long expected Millenium Falcon (kind of juniorized again?).... Regards, Ben (the one with the ABS site....)

		infrared remote control of LEGO trains using NCQ and RCX
When I first bought my RCX some time ago, I dreamed of using the remote control to drive the train. Well I think I finally have it working. The following code works but has a problem which perhaps somebody can help me with. The program looks for (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.trains)
