Hi all,

just an idea how to use that nice Pizza Delivery Guy in combination with the new scooter. What you get is a Pizza Taxi Service:

Of course the scooters are movable, too:

Thanks for looking!

Cool!

Thanks!

Oh, and Er0l it's good to see these motorized. I was thinking about your approach. How easy would it be to build this with two overlapping rings so that you could do an intersection?

Thanks, also for answering the question.

Regarding your question: What you see is the core of an LCS layout - a block with one lane around it. By adding another block you get two-way traffic in between. All the cars pulled by the treads only turn right.

But of course you need an outer lane, too. This lane would be much too long for a tread, that's why the vehicles there have to be motorized. There's already one of those motorized vehicles (called "freerunners"): a school bus. Active steering isn't necessary - it's done by the slot. In the future there will - hopefully - be also remote-controlled freerunners which are able to stop, to cross a railway crossing and even to move on the inner circles together with the pulled cars. But that's still a long way off.

Anyhow, by doing so you get intersections like this (sorry for the bad quality):

The circle indicates the possibility for remote-controlled freerunners to switch between circles. It would even be possible for vehicles on the outer lane to switch to an inner lane, but the crosses indicate that this idea has been cancelled - seems to be too complex. Those are the plans. But if you have something in mind that goes beyond this I'd be glad to hear it - any input may improve the whole thing.
