(...) Actually, from what has been posted over in .robotics, it is not going to harm the RCX to use the track power, except if you have 2 or 3 of the outputs loaded down. The prefered input to the RCX is AC, because it contains internal diodes, (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You're forgetting something important - as the load on the motor increases (e.g. pulling more weight), the current it draws will increase { Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (A) }. You only regulate the voltage with the controller, not the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

If I run my trains at 3v, then two Lego Solar Panels can provide ~3v. Looks like I have another project after this one. As for powering the RCX through the train track, I had not thought about having to run the controller full tilt to power the RCX. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Of course the powered DUPLO train is battery powered. They do still have a push train (though it doesn't come with track - a good decision for DUPLO I think, at that age, kids may not need a track). One thought I have is that many LTCs could (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) This would be a great way to break in, and an even more affordable price point. As to the income thing...That's what I meant by saying "barely" - 60 bucks is a lot of money to a kid, but can be done; a $5 a week allowance is not uncommon, I (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
