  Re: A couple of gear questions
 
(...) No, it is not really a gear. You might be able to get two of them to mesh, but I wouldn't recommend it. It is used on the Code Pilot (and elsewhere) to measure rotation speed along with a light. (...) The 24 tooth clutch is a torque limiter. (...) (16 years ago, 9-Mar-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: A couple of gear questions
 
(...) Ah, right, so it is for that... I really have to find out how to measure torque. I, though, can't see the "2.5-5.0 Ncm" print on the part but I'll take your word for it. In lugnet.technic, Timothy P. Smith wrote: (...) I see... well I don't (...) (16 years ago, 9-Mar-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Un-yellow old plastic - will it work on LEGO?
 
(...) ... Yes. I tried this last week and the results were very good. Take a look at this (URL) post>. The picture shows the results before and after a exposure of only 2 hours in the sun. We are having a heat wave here in Brazil and I was afraid of (...) (16 years ago, 9-Mar-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

  Un-yellow old plastic - will it work on LEGO?
 
Do you have yellowed brick and wish to restore it to its original color? I recently stumbled upon a Maker Magazine article called "Un-Yellow Old Plastics - Retr0brite!" ((URL) I think this might work for yellowed white and grey brick. According to (...) (16 years ago, 9-Mar-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch)

  Rodeo Rider
 
Here's a quick little MOC I put together last night. I was playing around with characters ideas using the newer fedoras, and my wife was watching bull-riding on TV, so the two ended up melding into one. (URL) -Elroy (16 years ago, 9-Mar-09, to lugnet.build.vignette, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !

In lugnet.trains, Stefan Garcia wrote: <snip> (...) I've looked at doing different track sections consistently with the old style 9v track (with the metal on top).
