NXT Train layout Demo

[Burf2000]

I attend the odd train event and show off my non train models which is rather random I know. Trying to convert train people in to Mindstorm / Technic builders has failed quite badly to the point where I have made a simple train layout which is controlled via a NXT. Its quite addictive but dont tell the train heads I said that!

Interesting idea, nice implication.

Thanks, I am replacing my voice with some music lol, my friend said it was boring as hell.

This is absolutelly brilliant. My current understanding of RCX / NXT is non-existent, however I feel that I'm going to have to develop some skills in that area if I am to successfully build the tram line I've been dreaming about! Thank you so much for this video, it literally looks like it will open up new worlds for me...

P.S.: Being a train buff is pretty addictive... Glad to see you've put those Technic-y skills to proper use

Cheers mate, hey if you need any advice, help or anything, please feel free to contact me, drop me a email or what ever. I am more the functional person than the pretty builder person and your idea's could give me some purpose lol.

I could do a RCX version if you have one of them and not a NXT.

To tell you the truth, once I get back to MOCcing, that's probably among the very first things I'll try. I've got a tram city layout planned, so this use of RCX / the touch sensors is just a brilliant solution! Will keep you posted.

Here is another demo to show a NXT controlling 2 trains.
