I did. It's an iPAQ 3670 in there. The iPAQ's screen and dimensions match LEGO
studs perfectly.

The sign is a micro motor with the sign directly attached. But to get the speed
to a good level I used a diode bridge and a zenfer diode (5.1) and ran the whole
mess on a train regulator on power level 7. (One down from MAX)

I don't think that was an issue. 8^)

David created the stickers. He did a fantastic job.

I did the sensors and program, David created the Gondola. Amazing isn't it?

The train crossing is mine. There's a page on it here.

> How many trains did you have running,
We had 2 passenger trains running at the same time on the Passenger line. The
hogwarts and another.
The Hogwarts had a sensor that allowed only it to enter the Castle area. All
others went the other way.

4565? We didn't have any of those. None...
Lets see, on the Industrial line we had:
My CN engine
Large Black My Own Train
4565 Steam Engine
4563 Load N' Haul Railroad
4564 Freight Rail Runner
Passenger line we had:
Hogwarts
Metroliner(s) with club car(s)
4561 modified
Thomas the Tank...
I think that was it...
The only shots I didn't get were of the Trolley. It was computer controlled to
go to 3 stops and stop, wait and continue on. Maybe I should add that shot were
the kid thought he was going to get hit. I wish I would have had a shot of the
woman that did get hit. She puts her head right on the track. Then WHAM...
Ouch..
> Again, nice work!
Thanks. It was a lot of work from a lot of us. We had 4 RCX's there running
things and I want at least 3 more 'goodies'.
