 | | Tunnel Mouth / Bridge Arch —Mark Bellis
|
| | | The tracks from the Snowmobile 8272 and Bulldozer 8275 make a great tunnel mouth or bridge arch - smoother than using slope bricks. (URL) used 27 links at the moment, fixing them twice on each side. The arch as built fits well over 6-wide, 8-wide or (...)

| | | | (...) 34 or more of them can be bent into a complete circle with the treads facing in this way (the circle maintains near circularity up to about 40-45 links, depending on how floppy you want it). By supporting it on the outside edges, and "rolling" (...) (17 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | GBC MOC: Track Wheel Reservoir (was Re: Tunnel Mouth / Bridge Arch) —Mark Bellis
|
| | | | (...) I've not made very much GBC before but this was such a nice idea that I thought I'd have a go Brian: (URL) I used 36 tracks with pins on alternate ones to give a maximum 4 balls/second output. This can be reduced easily to the standard 1 (...) (17 years ago, 21-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

| | | | | (...) Hey, very nice Mark! Warning, watching those little balls go around and around in a creation of your own can be... very addictive :-) (...) Nifty. I wouldn't worry at all about having *too much* throughput; since the overall rate is 1 bps, the (...) (17 years ago, 22-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) Absolutely! :-) (...) I thought about that when you said so before, but then I thought it was better to keep the tracks rigid, otherwise the tension might vary in the round ends, requiring good control of the tracks on the straight part. I (...) (17 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)

| | | | Hi Mark, Nicely done, and welcome to the never ending fun of the GBC! I've been also toying with the idea of using these tracks, and made a module using them as part of the GBC setup we had at Modelma (a modelism fair here in Belgium) Nothing really (...)

Every GBC should have one of those! In the video what is that wavy red thing (...) (17 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
