Hi all!
I'm new to Eurobricks and couldn't find where to post this question... I've seen a lot of posts about motorized train functions so thought this might be a good spot to put this. If not, let me know!
I want to power 4 different Lego coasters simultaneously (Haunted House 10273, Loop Coaster 10303, Roller Coaster 10261, and Carousel 10257). I set up a Lego Train display every year to raise money for my town’s local food bank, so my layout also includes 3 motorized powered up trains.
I want all coasters to run at set intervals - once every minute or so to get the cars through 1-2 rotations before resting for a minute, then repeating, so the 4 motors I purchase (Technic Large Motor 88013) don’t burn out due to constant usage.
I wanted to know what my best strategy would be to make this happen? My only powered up experience is connecting 3 trains to 1 Powered Up remote control/occasionally using the Powered Up app to move a train.
I’m not familiar with how the Technic Hub operates, but could I connect all 4 motors to this hub, download a program for each of the motors within the hub and call it a day? Can I control the hub with the Lego Remote Control? I’d prefer not to use the powered up app, as I don’t want it to be constantly open on my phone to operate.
Any insight/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
