(...) Killer MOC, Matt! It is very faithful to the original, and very creative in execution. It reminds me of the over-my-head mechanical stuff that my son Ross builds:-) Well done, and thanks for sharing! JOHN (19 years ago, 27-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I haven't timed it but it does pretty good. Just about fast enough for something like this, probably equivilant to around a settling of 3 (of 8) on the 9V speed controller. Fast enough to move nicely and not be speeding - I would guess a scale (...) (19 years ago, 30-Apr-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Very cool Matt. I was hoping people would create things like this when I designed the BBB wheels with the cross axle at the center. Now if somebody could just figure out how to make it remote control... Ben Fleskes Big Ben Bricks LLC (19 years ago, 1-May-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
