I like the detail on the elevated train, including the traffic light hanging
under the track.

We had a working elevated train at one time, a simple Mindstorm system
controlled it going back and forth. It was modeled after the local MARTA
train line in Atlanta.

(and other pics near it)

show a prototype that David Kohrman has been developing for some Chicago
Elevated track and cars. This came out really neat!

The cars have the Chicago look, although they're a bit shorter, on purpose.

Wow, very cool! Brian Williams has created some El cars as well, for a short
(non functioning) section of track on the NILTC layout. I looked for
pictures but could not find them -- perhaps someone will get a shot at the
show coming up this weekend. Brian, do you have any pictures somewhere which
you could post?

(...) Sweet. Did it have any curves? Those protective ridges would presumably need to be widened a bit. (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.niltc)
