Can you help me build a prototype?
I've been playing around with MLCAD while attempting to create a
self-discharging hopper for my train, and I came up with what I think is a valid
design for the mechanism. However, the said design includes some of the most
recent Technic parts, which I still don't have in my collection (double bevel
gear, some awkward liftarms), and as such I have no way I can test it myself "in
bricks".
This is where *you* can help! :-)
I'd be most thankful if you could find the time to build & test my little gizmo,
and tell me about the outcome... it's really quite small (less than 50 parts).
I'll e-mail the 2 .ldr files to anyone interested.
TIA,
Pedro

| Pedro, I have experimented with many different mechanisms for auto-discharging hoppers, although none have been like the one you describe. I have tried ones with levers that are moved up and down as the wagon passes a trackside mechanism, and while (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)
