  Re: caster wheel design
 
(...) How heavy is this? A caster needs an offset, but making this offset as small as possible should reduce bending. I usually use a medium pulley on a #3 axle; either end of the axle is held in the pin hole of a Technic crossblack, while short (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Compressionism (D&RGW coach set)
 
(...) Agreed. Part of the skill (and fun) in building anything real in Lego is to leave in what is essential to the character and leave out what you can get away with to ensure functionality. So, the skill required is beyond simply making something (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Compressionism (D&RGW coach set)
 
(...) Less windows, in my view. Typically, most modelers feel compression works better by having less of a repeating element instead of making the element smaller (you could do some searching of back issues of model railroad magazines for articles (...)

  caster wheel design
 
Hi, I´m tring to build a robot that may use a caster wheel, But i am running some serious problemes in it design. If I use an axle or pin for the caster, it will bend. (the robot is quite heavy). So i tried to use a turntable as a caster axle, but (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Compressionism (D&RGW coach set)
 
(...) Just a thought, brought on by you mentioning leaving windows out. Some European HO manufacturers compress the length of long coaches in HO. They do this by having the basic scale of 1:87 but having the length modelled to 1:100. this means that (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Compressionism (D&RGW coach set)
 
(...) Can't speak for anyone else, but I see it as just about mandatory to do anything useable, and still have bricks left over. Replicating every window, every seat, every rivet is just not possible, so leave some out, as long as the feeling is (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Compressionism (D&RGW coach set)
 
(...) I think it depends on what you are trying to acheive. In this example Steve has used compression pretty well, its not as a compressed as a Lego designed train but he has managed to chop a considerable amount out without it looking 'wrong' (...)
