Jason,
I haven’t kept up to pace on close-coupling of train cars, but I’m really
impressed by your solution. It is low-profile, shared trucks, and looks very
clean, simple, and straight-forward. A fresh-look by you without working
knowledge of other close-coupling techniques seems to have generated another
slick solution. My apologies to those who may have similar solutions with
which I am unfamiliar.

Cool, thanks! I’m glad you like it. It certainly took a lot of experimentation
to get there. Looking back I’m not really sure why, since it seems so simple
now. I’m sure prior knowledge of existing solutions would have affected the
design process. Who knows where it may have ended up.

Anyway, well done, beautiful MOC of a nice train set.
|
Thanks again!

Thanks for posting details on this Talent train project. I had seen it in
some of the scenic pics from the show, and was certainly curious about it.
|
Glad I could provide some of the info.

I am glad you took some nice pictures of the O train. I saw it from the show
pics and wanted to see more. And for not being a train guy you did an excilent
job. Maybe deep down your are a train guy. ;)
I also had a problem with tring to solve close cupling. At first I had used 2x2
round bricks with a technic ball hitch inside the train. The problem was I had
to tear cars apart just put it on the track. (the roofs of my train didnt come
off very easily) As I progressed in my designs I realised that if I stacked used
Three 2x4 technic plats ontop of the train. I could use the technic ball hitch
and a rubber band and be set.
And if that explination didnt explain then this picture should help.

That is a picture of my TGV train. It is probably the longest articulated LEGO
train around. It currently is 10ft long and only uses two motors.
Well keep up the great work and hope to see some more trains.

Cool, thanks. Lol, maybe, who knows. I have bought my fair share of LEGO train
sets. :)

Yeah, that’s pretty cool. Nice and simple and easy to use. I also saw pics of
it in Steve’s “Advanced Train Building” presentation after Didier posted the
link to it.
