(...) You're just whinging. Get a bigger flat. Or get rid of the bed. Priorities, man... priorities! OK, I will stop now. But I WILL say this, I had LEGO in EVERY ROOM of my temporary apartment in Detroit. (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I know. I was there too. You bought me a bag of chips and they mucked up the order, remember? You may even have quaffed some of my Belgian cherry beer. Huw's got a great layout. Unfortunately I don't have a spare room in the flat I can devote (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

Xacto (Sp?) produces a fine tooth rectangular saw that is designed for hobby work. I used one for cutting HO train track before my LEGO train days. I don't know if this is available where you are. Go to a hobby shop and get whatever is used to cut (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

I am going to cut my tracks for my automation train layout, has anyone used saw to do this? I want to know which kind of saw is the best for this special task. Until now, I am using tape to isolate tracks, but this will let distance of isolation (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

Zhengrong is right, the biggest trouble is controling the train's speed. And really one sensor is barely enough for each station especially if the train's speed varies from station to station. BTW if there is only one train you can gang up sensors (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
