    Re: train2 rollcall... —Derek Raycraft
   (...) I'm not using standard monorail track, which is why its experimental. That and its not running quite the way I'd like it to yet. Needs more work, but it does run. (...) Actually I don't think anyone has seen my "GO" train, yet. I think you are (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.org.ca.monlug, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)

   (...) ... (...) That was ME! I am definatly looking forward to your go Train Derek! Mine was far to tall. and too wide (8-9 studs) ... I hope I have not just started a 6 vs 8 wide debate...

        Re: train2 rollcall... —Derek Raycraft
     (...) Cool, now to remember that. (rubbing temples) Jeff... Jeff... Jeff... I'll be very surprised if my train can run on the display. I built it for a static display in my place, not to run the rails. I don't have the space to setup even a loop of (...)

Sorry Jeff for not giving you credit...I guess that's what happens if you show up late for dinner....The train looked beautiful...are you going to use the transparent "wall elements" for the windows, and what are you going to use for the (...)

         Re: train2 rollcall... —Jeff Elliott
      (...) Well, in order to be Eleura-car compliant, we had to be able to pass a fat 8-wide [1]... All my track & bridges on the mainlines can handle a skinny 10-wide [2], 34-long car [3], including the tunnel. My tunnel arches can handle a car that is (...)

         Re: train2 rollcall... —Derek Raycraft
      (...) Well I meet the fat 8-wide standard. I should be under 13.2 bricks in height. However I'm more then 50 long. I think the bogy pivit points are at 42 or 44 bump separation. Thats why I say I cut a lot on the corners. Going around a bend two (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.org.ca.monlug, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)
     
          Re: train2 rollcall... —Jeff Elliott
       (...) That'll trash my tunnel, I imagine :( I think the outside of the curve is OK - those pivots sound like they're near the ends, but the inside corner only has a stud or two to spare. I'll see if I can mod it tonight, but no promises. Jeff E (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.org.ca.monlug, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment)
