I've put together a small page with pictures from our Christmas LEGO Train at (URL) The track layout image is a bitmap (track designer, clipped and pasted into MS paint = 800+ KB! :-O ) so you may want to wait until next week to check the page, so (...)

(...) Gee Kevin, I did not realize how much you are in love.

I finally cleaned my LEGO room and cleared enough space to build a small "home" layout. It measeuses 5' x 7.5', has three elevations (table heights), and has 3 independent loops. A picture is worth a thousand words. Overall shot... (...) (23 years ago, 28-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) No problem, then. (that wasn't what you asked at first, you complained that the train motor took power from the track...)

(...) This is a recurring topic in .trains and the consensus seems to be that a mobile RCX brick requires either that it is battery powered (not great for battery life), or that you do surgery on the motor. The surgery that needs to be done is well (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.trains)
