I am trying to get all the particulars worked out for my train station and was wondering a couple of things. #1: On the two mainlines the GMLTC uses, is one designated freight and one passenger? I am curious, since I can't see how to (easily) get (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi All, Building away last night on a new train creation and something occured to me. Has anyone used mindstorms to control a dual reverse loop circuit? You would need to block three sections of track (for two reverse loops). Sensors could detect (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hi, all: I'm in the midst of a large bridge project myself. I'm adhering to the 2 plate slope / 1 plate rate-of-change guideline, but for other reasons. I'd add that you probably shouldn't climb sharply through turns - that just complicates the (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)
