  Re: Woohoo!! Long Live Lego Trains!!
 
(...) What I would love to see is a convergence of Mindstorms and Trains. Both moving to a "signalling supererimposed on power" type system (a bit like DCC). So all LEGO electrics/electronics would work the same, motors, train motors, lights, (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Woohoo!! Long Live Lego Trains!!
 
Looking at what Playmobil did some years ago, a likely 'major change' of Trains is replacing the expensive metal tracks by plastic track (like Duplo train) and have the trains battery-powered & radio-controlled. Eric (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Motorize switch point
 
(...) The point works reliably at power settings of 1 or 2 (the first or second notch on the LEGO speed regulator), but if you turn up the power on the LEGO speed regulator to 5 or 6, the motor that moves the point will pop off. Chris (24 years ago, 11-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
