Interesting thanks. A problem with this has been pointed out by David. Anot= her is that you could only leave the train.=20 Coupling a coach on a running train would be very dangerous. With some very= sofisticated help from technology (or some late 18th century boldness :-))= it could surely be done, but it would need to be failproof and the space n= eeded to do it would be great, increasing proportionally with the running t= rain's speed. Surely undoable in cities or urban areas. For fun, I recommend "The roads must roll" by Robert Heinlein --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
