Thanks for posting the video, it is pretty impressive. Are you using two RCXs in this layout, one controlling the trains with LDCC and the other for sensors? What type of sensors are you using? How about adding some photos showing the hardware (...) (17 years ago, 25-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

My son was given the Hogwarts Lego train a few years ago which I added the 9 volt wheels to. I built up some extra coaches and it has done hundreds of laps around my layouts.

How about posting some pictures (or even better a video) of your layout in operation under the control of your program. Your idea looks very interesting. (17 years ago, 23-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
