  Re: My Sante Fe 10020
 
(...) The lower 2 non centered of the three non oscillating lights are called "ditch" lights. (...) This is almost completely standard commuter train practice, it's called "push pull" operation. SEMTA, SEPTA, MTA, CTA, Metro North, you name it, they (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
 
  Re: My Sante Fe 10020
 
(...) Well, the Caltrain commuter rail that runs between San Jose and San Francisco uses only clear (white) lights on the front of the train, and red on the rear. One of the lights (the uppermost one, IIRC) oscillates; the others (two or three, I (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
 
  Re: building contest for the next BayLUG meeting
 
Hi, Sounds fine to me, I wanted to enter my grey gondola car in the under 100 pieces contest (it incredibly has only about 90) but forgot to. We could also do TWO (WOW!) contests EACH meeting maybe, can you stand it? Trains AND spaceships (OOOHHH!) (...) (22 years ago, 23-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
 
  Re: [BayLUG-org] building contest for the next BayLUG meeting
 
I'm a little nervous about tying the contest to a particular theme, because not everybody is interested in trains. I suspect you'd have a similar reaction to a contest for building a spacecraft.... But let's go with this idea and see what the (...) (22 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
 
  building contest for the next BayLUG meeting
 
I propose that the building contest for the next BayLUG meeting be a train car design contest. It should be a free-for-all with no design limitations. We can run all the cars around some track to see what they do, if anything, and then we can vote (...) (22 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)
 
  Re: SCLTC Layout at BricksWest 2002
 
(...) Greg, Thank you for the very kind words. I had a lot of fun building most of the park. The playground came together after a couple of rebuilds. It wasn't designed as a copy of a real-life structure, but a sense of realism was the most (...)

  Re: SCLTC Layout at BricksWest 2002
 
(...) wow, Wow, WOW! Thanks for posting these pictures Ray. What a great layout. I'm still digesting the whole gallery but I wanted to immediately respond with a rave of appreciation for the scenes set in the park. The playground is just incredible (...)

  My Last Plea for BricksWest Help
 
Like everyone else here, I *really* wanna go to BricksWest. But after spending two months out of work last fall (and then taking a 10% pay cut), and just getting through the Xmas season, money is very tight. I just can't go to BricksWest unless I (...)
