Thanks for the kind words Jerry. I was almost tempted to drop the site after
switching ISPs. It had only 4500 hits in 1.5 years where as I have YouTube
videos over 35000. But I got my first fan email and I decided to keep it going
and add some new content.

My favourite model is the gantry crane, because it works (with one RCX mindstorm
brick). We take Bodville once a year out of my garage to help raise funds for a
school for students with disabilities. I watch the other non-lego exhibits
tinker all weekend getting things to work. We just download the RCX code and
press run. It gives me plenty of time to talk with people (or race the slot
cars).

My best idea was to put AFX motors into Lego cars and bikes. Everyone goes nuts
for them. There are some movies on the Bodville site including the 2006 race
track. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pe668/Movies/afx_12meg.wmv
Or low quality YouTube

Feel free to re-utilized, all the best.

Hi Peter, I'm impressed - not only about your idea on the 4954 which the set is virtually asking for. Also very excellent website and lots of interesting ideas I hope you won't mind to see re-utilized elsewhere ;) Thanks, Jerry (17 years ago, 2-Jan-08, to lugnet.trains)
