|
|
I would like to run a train with the Mindstorms RCX. I seem to remember reading about someone applying 9 volts to the rails, picking that power up through the powered bogey (sp?) to run the RCX onboard the train, and using one of the motor outputs (...) (25 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Of course, Ben, you realize you are preaching to the choir, so rant all you want. I am a Lego model railroader because of my 2 and 4 year old rail fans. They loved my N-scale layout but were frustrated because they could not participate (I was (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains)

The GMLTC will be showing at the GATS in a few weeks in St Paul, MN. *That* would be worth a visit, but maybe not all the way from Philly.... -John (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains)

Chances are you'll not see any LEGO trains. Nor will any of the vendors have anything related to LEGO. Most wouldn't even know LEGO makes trains. Let alone having done so for 30+ years. The GATS organizers I've spoken to hadn't seen anything like (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains)
