(...) Thanks! It took me a while to figure this walkway out, the first versions got stuck sometimes in the curves, crashing it, but I've ran it for over 100 laps (with curves and switches) without problems after the last revision. You'll see it soon (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.trains)
