Terrific work!  I'm sorry that I didn't see this thread until now, or I'd have
commented sooner.  I don't go in for LEGO much lately, but Classic Space will
forever hold a special classic space in my heart.

Thanks for sharing!


Dave!

Thanks so much Dave! !

I sporadically check out LUGNET ;)

I'm just kinda focused on making this layout as 'best' as possible.  I may get
bored of it at some point and do something else, but for now, this is basically
it :)

Good hearing from you.

Take care,

Dave K

Hope everyone is doing well.

Truely wonderful work! I really like the contrast between the classic space and
the modern building styles.

Thanks so much!

I always considered my building style to be stuck in the '70's and 'early '80's
:)

I have fun with it, tho.  And i'm basically doing 2 shows 'back-to-back'

One this upcoming weekend in Etobicoke, and one the first weekend in June which
is a 'secret' ;)

Take care

Dave K

There are a whole slew of other previous vids on my YouTube channel that show
how I got to this point.

A very special thanks to Rob Hendrix for his LifeLites lighting kits that I used
extensively in this layout.

<https://lifelites.com/>

I should probably do a tally to see what the final number is for LifeLites kits
in the layout...

Here's a quick listing off the top of my head -

Landing pads - 13 x 2 kits each = 26
Monorail Station - 2 kits
Habitat - 1 kit
Rocket Launch - 2 kits
Ships - 3 advanced kits (so far - soon to me more)
Tower - floors 0-3 (ground ops) - 8
Tower - floors 4-9 (landing pad/monorail demarc) - 2
Tower - floor 10 (observation) - 2
Tower - floor 11 (space ops) - 2
Tower - floor 12 (exec - cake topper) - 2

Total - 50 LifeLite basic/advanced kits. (think 5 of the 50 are advanced)

times (mostly) 8 LED's each - 400 LED lights

That number is high because not all the kits have 8 LED's connected. But most
do.

Thankfully I've been acquiring the LifeLite kits over the years since Rob
started making them, because that would be hard on the bank if I bought them all
at once :)

Anyway, the evolution of the OBBCSL has been so much fun over the years, and I'm
not done with it yet.

That said, the 'big' changes are now mostly complete and it's finally, after
12ish years of updating it, where I wanted it to be from the beginning.

Hope everyone is doing well.

An RCX running on a Windows XP VM controlling a monorail train

I set up my WinXP VM with BrixCC and connected one of my RCX's to my copperized
monorail track.

I wrote a quick NQC program that would control the speed and direction of the
monorail train via a rotation sensor connected to the RCX.

It's not as wonderful as Mark Reilly's LDCC but it works on a 'regular' RCX
firmware.

Future state is for maybe 'public' control of one of the monorail loops at a
show.

We'll see about that

Here's a vid-

There are deficiencies as discussed in the vid.  I'll work them out (hopefully)
and keep everyone here updated ;)

(Whoever is still coming here)
