I probably should have changed the title as I’m x-posting to a different group. Back in the heyday here, I woulda been raked over the coals for that (1)...

As I said on my Flickr page (and below), I’ve been thinking about this since someone mentioned this at an rtlT event years ago, but didn’t work on it until this video--

So I blatantly ripped off the sorting setup, but wanted to use a drum instead of a scissor lift. Was that the right thing to do? Eh...

I’m not done yet and it’s not 100%. As a matter of fact, I really didn’t have time to test this before I packed it up for our LEGO dinner tonite...

So there’ll be future iterations.

The good bit, I tried to make it break down into a few smaller pieces for ease of transport, That’ll make it easier to move around and update

   Or March Dinner, since it, like Valentines Day, doesn’t fall on this particular day...

Anyway,

Friday, March 9th Swiss Chalet Dundas St Etobicoke 7 p.m.

I may bring along an axle sorter (that I’m currently making portable) that’ll run on a battery box, so if ya wanna bring some axles for sorting... :)

Dave K -getting back into building mode, specifically ‘old school’ technic stuff :)

--was going to haul out an RCX for the sorter, but wanted the challenge of doing it straight battery

(...) Hi David, I will be there too. Long time since I last participated to anything Lego related, but I need to feel alive again. Perhaps we can revive the group a bit... Cheers, Gabriel. (7 years ago, 9-Mar-18, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic, FTX)
