Pedro, I have experimented with many different mechanisms for auto-discharging hoppers, although none have been like the one you describe. I have tried ones with levers that are moved up and down as the wagon passes a trackside mechanism, and while (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

Hi all, Well, I just thought I'd share my experience using a TCS M1 decoder. This is a neat little decoder designed for N / HO scale, and fits nicely into LEGO train motors - read about it here (URL) (21 years ago, 14-Sep-03, to lugnet.trains)
