  Re: Externally Powered Monorail running on LDCC
 
(...) Thanks! I didn't get LDCCset up at the show--I lost the RCX firmware.

  Re: Externally powered Monorail
 
(...) WOW! That is awesome. I am going to have to try this sometime in the future. I will suggest some <https://plus43.safe.../p358.html HO pick-up shoes> for the power though.

  Re: Externally powered Monorail

I think the pics cover how 'easy' it is to convert the monorail bogeys for power pickups (going to the hobby store today for more inspiration), but if Ross or you (or anyone) has any questions or want additional info, just let me know.
