It really is a shame that Lego no longer makes all the nifty automated
light, switch and crossing components. I first saw these in the 1980
European catalog (http://www.kl.net/scans/catalogs/1980/c80eutr/ , which I
still have :). My mom brought it over from a trip to Germany. I was stunned
at all the neat stuff, but never purchased anything.
I just now got into the 9 volt trains. While neat, they really pale in
comparison with the design and additional components of the 12v system.
Anyone listening at Lego??
A neat project would be to try and assemble all available photos and
instructions for projects that various net trainheads have put together to
simulate yesterday's 12v accessories in today's 9v world. Matt's Train Depot
has some nice starts, but I know there are more ideas out there. Perhaps
this should be the start of a new thread...

| Has anyone tried to automate a point by directly laying a worm (screw) gear on the grey plastic (removing the yellow switch handle)? It seems that that'd work well. I suppose that you'd have to worry about stopping, but if they are switched via a (...) (25 years ago, 27-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
