(...) That is great news, Track Designer is very useful, I use it all the time when I do a LEGO train show as I have a different layout for each show. It still works very well but it would be nice to see a few enhancements. David (16 years ago, 5-Nov-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) As a crazy idea, use a MAX882/3/4 configured to output the required voltage. It is a step-up regulator that will work with as little as 1.5 volts. There are also PWM solutions. (16 years ago, 26-Oct-08, to lugnet.trains)
