Anyone know if it is possible to hack the Power Functions remotes & receivers to operate on a different 'band'? GMLTC is working on plans for our next club layout, and we might have seven operating loops. If we are running PF trains, we'll have some (...) (10 years ago, 3-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Perhaps look into SBrick: https://www.sbrick.com/ It allows control of up to 64 outputs, and is an almost drop in replacement for LEGO controllers. Pretty expensive, but you could just get 3 or 4 and use IR for the rest. As long as you have (...) (10 years ago, 11-Feb-15, to lugnet.trains)

(...) At our Swedish forums, www.swebrick.se there is a thread about controlling 8 standard Lego receivers (total of 16 control channels) with a custom IR sender. The receivers seem to be prepared for more channels than currently available from (...) (10 years ago, 24-Mar-15, to lugnet.trains)
