Hi Matt, Sorry I am late replying to your survey, I haven't had computer access for about a week. Put me down for number 3 or 4. In one of the recent model train magazines they were advertising a voltage regulator, which could limit DCC output to (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks for the insight. Just dreaming for future Lego creations. Maybe some person will come up with the motorization schematic? I have a wish that 9v would have more to offer. I was sort of disappointed in the recent catalogue. Kurt :-) (...) (26 years ago, 13-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
