Dan I got some questions for you. 1) What are you using the motors for? The seem to be some sort of switching mechanism. Is this correct? 2) At the two cross tracks is that a lego light at one end? Does your light sensor detect that light? In my (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Outstanding, Holger. I am a big fan of German trains and your creation looks great. I rarely see any German LEGO trains so it's great to see your creation. I sure wish someone would build an ICE train or a Thalys. Ashley Glennon (23 years ago, 15-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
