(...) the 3 polarity switches are run by the 3 outputs of the RCX, with 2 inputs used for light sensors. The construction of the polarity switches is so that the timeing on the motors isn't important - the only reason they're timed is to reduce wear (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 4.5v track will work for straights, but the curves won't. I did experiment though with 12v track. By using the conductor rail, you can get a semi-workable narrow guage. The problem is that the conductor rails aren't quite centered on the stud (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)
