That's one reason I was reluctant to work on it before Christmas, with the
lack of any new trains for 2 years and with all the electronic gizmos Lego
have been making I was worried that maybe they had been busy working on a DCC
[1] system of there own. I didn't want to put a lot of effort into something
that would become immediately redundant. However, I shouldn't have worried.

BTW, can it be Mac compatible?
Possibly. The Windows software is written in C++/MFC which is supposed to be
portable to the Mac but someone else will have to do the port.

[1] If Lego do their own, I bet it won't be DCC compliant, 'not invented here'
and all that.

Put me down as a 3 and I'd probably get 5 or 6 units if the price were reasonable. (300-400 total for 5 units and the interface to my PC) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

It's a great idea. One Lego should have come up with by now. (3). Perhaps Lego will copy your design and make their own, the same way they stole your crossing track;) BTW, can it be Mac compatible? -John (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
