What is the cost for sending a board off to be fabbed?

[tarmac2001]

Nice attempt at something difficult like that. I might try some smaller crushed material and lower the assembly till there is just enough room for the top of the train to clear the bottom of the shute.

Nice! I am working on one for N scale. It will be manual though, as its a manual operation in real life anyhow. Tons of fun added to any train set!

[Automcanic]

nice job a little fine tuning and you could really make it flow good also like mentioned before a overspill grate would help out alot!!

[gbh5000]

nice work! an over spill grate would make a world of difference, very nice electronics!

[csxgk94]

that is awsome!!!! i wish i had room in my layout for something like that!

[avfreelance]

Forget the IDIOT comments, that's a brilliant idea!, I can't imagine the time involved to get it all working. How did it turn out?

Ron Paul hates trains

[billklinevt]

this is all automated - there was no button pushed for loading. It was all done with proximity sensors and a microcontroller

[ETAG231189]

you might wanna stop the train before pushing the button for loading.

would be cheaper than buying new cargo all the time don't ya think?
