(...) Hi John, Thank you for this complement. Do you think the 12V actuator could work with a 9V tension? I don't have such 12V actuator yet but your suggestions is very smart and so simple. Philippe. (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) You're right Larry. The cable cars are based on the monorail chassis. When BayLTC planned our SF Waterfront Project, we wanted to have a cable car running around. We knew the regular 9v track wouldn't handle the steep elevation changes, so we (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

(...) What i think is most interesting about this design is that you chose to use monorail bases as your mechanicals. At least that's what it looked like to me in the pics... can you elaborate on that part? (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

(...) That's very interesting reading. Thanks. But I've never had to modify points to use my controller design. It does take some time to find elastic bands with the right amount of tension, but it can deliver just enough power to switch an (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
