My train layout is fully automated with mindstorm so there was not much to do but watch. That was until I made some Lego race cars with AFX motors. <<img>>(URL) More pictures here <link>(URL) Movie here (12meg) <link>(URL) Visit Bodville online at: (...)

(Bump) I thought this would have generated a lot more interest. The movie was kinda cool. It's not everyday you see a Lego race car, loose control at high speed, exit the race track and get hit head-on by the Hogwarts Express. So I'll bump this (...) (19 years ago, 18-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains)
