I hope this builder will pop in here and discuss some of his or her work. (URL) don't think I've ever seen anyone try a BL2 before! That engine has a lot of curves and slants and is a very hard engine to model in LEGO. Although I'm not an 8 wide (...) (20 years ago, 17-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) In fact for realistic operation (if you really want that!) you'd need 4 sensors, because the "exit" sensor is much closer to the crossing than the "entry" sensor in real life. But who wants realistic? This is LEGO! ROSCO (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You'll need more than a program, you'll need to make sensors of some sort, as sensors that detect magnets are not on offer from LEGO.

Magnets, righto. How do I do that? I've spent most of today trying to put together a program for a pressure pad triggered setup, haven't had any sucess. Same with a light program. I don't have any idea how to use magnets. Do you have a program I (...) (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)
