I too had this idea but on receipt of my first Code Pilot unit it would appear
that 'reading' moving items such as trains might be a bit too tricky. Another
idea is to pre-program the unit for use as a 'shuttle' which reverses
direction when the contact sensors are activated and runs totally independant
of the 9v track-powered trains.
Nice work on this train, a SOUND idea....
