(...) There are small plastic clips at the base of the train motor; these clasp under the 1x3 inverted slopes to lock them in place (quite ridgidly, I might add). You can see them in the photo; once the RCX dark grey base is loaded on top, it ties (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) That's what I figured. Not having any of these motors, I cobbled it in LDRAW, and the clips in the model are too low. I figure I'll just make a dolly the same size from bricks and the old train wheels (with the metal axle from the 4.5V days) (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Whoooohooo! That's me! I've been to Morgantown, West Virginia! (...) Okay, there's something off the bat I'm worried about, which is that you've built the track out of unobtanium, aka, monorail track. No one has any of it and it's more (...)

(...) Hahaha :) The advantages of using the monorail track are that it's very, very rigid laterally (like, it can really press into it without it deflecting at all) and simple to construct. It's a wide, flat surface... the 4.5 V rails I fear will (...) (18 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
