Linmix,

      Thanks for the compliment!  Let me know if you need any help along the way
including deciphering the BrickOS code.  I used separate RCX's one for the base
one for the rail.  Unfortunately I never figured out LNP.  I'm happy with the
code,  it enables precision positioning and speed control.  I have no experience
with NXT but I bet the sensors in the motors have higher resolution,  might be
nice for a retrofit.  
      Years ago before I had BrickOS or Ldraw code posted Bob Kojima built one
from pictures.  There are a few things I did differently but overall I was
amazed at his reverse engineering. You can find it at his Brickshelf page:

If I don't respond to your posts in a timely manner please e-mail me.

Cheers Chris
