G'day. Bit of a lurker these past few weeks but finally made an account.
31 years old, from Whanganui, New Zealand. Never had lego as a kid.
Have discovered lego trains recently and have descended in to the mad world of third party lego compatible track and accessories.
Picked up a couple of sets of 60197 to get myself started which I extended and modified based on some pictures I found around youtube. Recently picked up a second hand 60337 and have built a MOC kiwirail engine based on some plans I picked up online - again ended up modifying to suit my desires.
I've since discovered automation (I have no background in electronics whatsoever) but am fascinated. I have so many questions...
Anyway I'll get to answering those questions in due course. For now my most burning question is as follows.
I have two sets of 60197. They are back to back with one motor contained on each engine at the end of the train. Effectively one pushing and one pulling. But as I said earlier, I have extended the original lego sets, resulting in more weight. I figured out how to sync the two motors using the lego controller so no problem operating the train that way. But now I have used pybricks to automate one and its working great (In truth my friend is very good with pybricks and did all the work). But my train is too heavy so I can only operate it with a reduced amount of carriages and I'm not sure on how to sync with the second motor using pybricks, or if it is even possible or particularly easy/difficult.
Perhaps there is a better alternative in such a situation?
Any advice on this subject is gratefully received.
