(...) It is really nothing spectacular. Yes, there are 2 RCXs (one running LDCC and the other one having sensors and sending readings to the PC).

Hello again my fellow LEGO fanatics. :-) Stacy and I are working hard to get our layout ready for an upcoming train show and for Brickworld 2008. One place we are stumped right now is ballasting corners. We've got most of our straights ballasted and (...) (17 years ago, 26-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains)
