| Dinner, this Friday, August 8th, 7 pm, Swiss Chalet... be there with bells on, or at least with something on. Bring cool lego, or not, bring your partner, or not, bring an appetite or not but for the sake of all things abs, at least bring yourself. (...) (16 years ago, 6-Aug-08, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| It's been a while since I've posted a new MOC here but it's never too late to pick up an old habit again. In a (URL) Dutch railway magazine> I saw an ad for <www.mkmodelbouwstudio.nl MK Modelbouwstudio's> with a picture of two hoppers. They seemed a (...) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| Shaun, Impressive work, both in construction and the write up! Welcome back to the fold of trains (at least for a little bit)...did you know that the next National Train show (that ILTCO has been particpating heavily since 2005) will be in Hartford (...)

| (...) Your "LEGOdometer" is amazing! I especially liked hearing about the design process and the fact that the final product is purely mechanical. I'd never be able to design something like this... -Bryan (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Tom Atkinson pointed out that same thing ... it's something that never even struck me while I was working on it. The irony just makes it all the more ridiculous, in a fun way! (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Thanks! Both were fun ;) (...) I don't yet, though I can easily do that. The 4-spoked technic joiners, when turned, rotate the 16T gear at the opposite end of the dial. That gear then connects to two idler gears which drive a 40T gear; that (...) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

| (...) <snip> Great idea! Tempting to build something similar for our next show... The only disappointing part of the story is that it took a number of days of computing power to come up with a solution that doesn't use computing power ;-) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | Re: LEGOdometer

| Very impressive! I don't know what is the most amazing: the odometer itself or the extensive write-up ;o) Would you have more details (MLCad?) of the gearing/ratcheting between dials? And BTW, did you see this: (URL) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)
