If you haven't already checked this space train out on BrickShelf, I encourage you to do so. Middle section tilts. Looks like the tilting mechanism is an inclined axis of rotation similar in principle to Eric Brok's tilting Metroliner. I am (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)

Has anyone made a revsersing loop that automaticly sets it self? The LEGO Train Depot ((URL) talks about a reversing loop project and how to do it manually with technic switches. I'm wondering if anyone has automated this process? Thanks -Ahui (23 years ago, 15-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)
