Hello after a long time! I played around somewhat with the different train systems. The result is displayed in this table: (URL) And probably more interesting as a video: (URL) Pulling power of different train systems at YouTube> The used test rig (...)

As a first step in the move from my current ISP (which will discontinue personal web pages!) I have registered the domain blockcad.net. If you have saved a link to BlockCAD, please update it to www.blockcad.net (or just blockcad.net) (15 years ago, 20-Nov-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That's a great point, Dave, and it brings to mind two related issues: 1. Competition. I wonder what path LEGO would have chosen in the mid-90s if they didn't have a significant market competitor to deal with. Mega Bloks was just starting to (...)
