This Java applet allows you to construct a train set within this web page,
and to run the train around the track.
You can move and rotate the sections of train track with your mouse.
I have extended this applet so you can control the speed of the train,
and control the path of the train of the train by giving you control over
one of the train track switches; I will extend it further to give
you control over multiple switches, and allow you to reverse the direction
of the train both by using turn around loops and by using
the transmission (but please come to full stop before throwing it into
reverse.)
Future enhancements will improve the graphics and speed.
The current implementation is based on an applet in the public dommain.
The 'enhancements' will eventually constitue a complete re-write.
12/27/97 : ( First Posted ) train runs on fixed path at a fixed speed.
12/30/97 added speed control, broke track modification capability (since repaired) ( First Update )
01/07/98 : Switch is operable !
01/19/98 : Switches visibly toggle, selectable demo layouts.
Note: 4 switches shown, only one pair works !
Check back for improvements.
