Hey all,
Here's something we've [1] been working on for our next show... It's a
dogbone shaped track, that runs 3 trains on it at once, without collisions.
It's pure LEGO, no modifications, and needs only one RCX. The center
section of track switches polarity, cause it runs trains in both
directions.
Here's a few mpegs of the actions:

| Dan, Very clever layout. How is the RCX deturning when to let the next train go? Is it timed or is it using a sensor to figure out if the track was clear. I would be curious to see how this worked with longer trains, ones with a few pieces of (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Dan, Really cool. I have integrated some LEGO computer control into a train layout as well. It is great to see others doing the same. I tried to get some discussions going on .RCX a long time ago but to no avail. I have used both the RCX and the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
