China AFOL did as below:

I think this one has enough capacity http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/High-Capacity-LITELONG-AA-1200mah-14500-3-2v-lifepo4-Rechargeable-Battery-Consumer-Battery-Free-Shipping-4pcs/816574_1302272496.html

Though I know AFOL in China use it for technic with PF motors, he modified LEGO office battery 8881 and let it be a rechargeable battery.

Maybe you heard there are some new rechargeable batteries as below: http://www.amazon.com/Soshine-LiFePO4-700mAh-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00Z07RKWO/ref=sr_1_6?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1449915598&sr=1-6&keywords=14500+3.2v+battery I want to use three such batteries with three dummy batteries in 9.6v for RCX or any PF devices, does this have any problems?

Great Layout!

Is this size about 3.2m X 1.6m ?

Can you share me your bbm file?

That gap is not a problem, I can use a baseplate to cover it.

I don't think that I can cut my tables:) they look like

Thanks for your idea! My room is in 3.25x2.55m, I tried to put some tables as below: http://upload.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikezang/Layouts/img_0529.png http://upload.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikezang/Layouts/img_0530.png http://upload.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikezang/Layouts/img_0531.png http://upload.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikezang/Layouts/img_0532.png http://upload.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikezang/Layouts/img_0533.png But your suggestion let me try to create a new design as below: http://upload.brickshelf.com/gallery/mikezang/Layouts/img_0538.png Which one is better?

Did anyone use all curve tracks included ME Models track? I just designed a loop layout that used all curve tracks! But I am very sad because I can't play it at my home:( My tables are shorter than 3m. Do you have any idea?

Great idea! I like it and I will try some good challenge, too.

Wonderful! is this a 8 wide train?

It is not easy to move If the size is too large, I think 48x48 is better because largest baseplate is that size so that it is stable:)

Amazing! what size of your module? 32x32 baseplate? or 48x48?

Is this a 10 wide train? can you share your LDD file?

But after I convert a LDD train to MLCAD, there is no any train wheel, I think the converting lost those wheels, what can I call back wheels?

I use LDD to export to MLCAD format file, when I open that file using MLCAD, I got error message as below, how can I avoid this error? Though I downloaded complete parts from LDRAW.org

Thank you very much! I will try to use your box car with my motorized decoupler.

I need 8w train for auto control system, can you share your LDD?

Great layout! are there any trains moving by auto control system?

The old IBM usb to serial adapter is not so good, so that I bought new one. I think you can buy one because it is cheaper, I spent 1000JPY.

For answer your question, I prepared three towers, 6 RCXs(others's contact are corroded by bad batteries fluid, I have no time to clean them) with new batteries. image 1 Then I already bought a new USB to serial adapter instead old IBM one because I am afraid that is bad. image 2 Here is Tokyo at 5pm, Now I start to test them with 1st tower for 6 RCXs... Unbelievable! All 6 RCXs are successful to download brickOS!!!! The difference is now I test them at 5pm, until last day I tested them at midnight, I am not sure if this is effected by room light? Anyway, thank for your question so that I can save all my babies to be use again to my Lego Train Auto Control System.

I have't use arduino so that without any arduino software on my PC.

I have 10 RCXs so that I want use them in my Lego Train auto control System. Here is my past project ( ).After 8 months I tried to use my Lego RCX again, but I can't download firmware to my RCX. The RCX is no any response after several bytes downloaded, does anyone know why? Or what can I do next?
