(...) At our Swedish forums, www.swebrick.se there is a thread about controlling 8 standard Lego receivers (total of 16 control channels) with a custom IR sender. The receivers seem to be prepared for more channels than currently available from (...) (10 years ago, 24-Mar-15, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hallo Reinard, Ik ben ook bezig met een 20 brede 1600. Maar dan een 1800. Genoemd naar mijn geboorteplaats Tilburg, de 1851. Misschien kunnen we de locomotieven eens naast elkaar zetten, dat lijkt me erg gaaf! Hoop wat van je te horen dan kun (...)

(...) Perhaps look into SBrick: https://www.sbrick.com/ It allows control of up to 64 outputs, and is an almost drop in replacement for LEGO controllers. Pretty expensive, but you could just get 3 or 4 and use IR for the rest. As long as you have (...) (10 years ago, 11-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I usually put motor(s) on blue, and lights on red. So each channel controls one train. I'm mostly concerned with all the kids who bring "guest trains", I want to make sure they can run their trains without interfering with ours. JohnG, GMLTC (10 years ago, 10-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)

(...) But each channel has 2 separate controls, red & blue, so you can control up to 8 trains without resorting to modifications, as long as each only uses 1 output. ROSCO (10 years ago, 10-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)

Anyone know if it is possible to hack the Power Functions remotes & receivers to operate on a different 'band'? GMLTC is working on plans for our next club layout, and we might have seven operating loops. If we are running PF trains, we'll have some (...) (10 years ago, 3-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)
