|

Ok, so I've been searching the web for a Bluetooth GPS. But, I really don't think I ordered one. Heck, I'm getting old. Maybe I forgot. So, I checked my mail, and in the back of my mail box, there's a plain white box. No address or any markings. I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Wonderful! The skating pond is so simple yet so effective. All the details throughout the scene are wonderful. Did you drill holes in the 1x1 transperent rounds to make the Xmas light strings? I didn't get a chance to do one this year but you have (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.org.us.delvalug)

Glad you could make it. It was nice to see another working robot, and if I wasn't so stuck on using my giant arm, I would probably try to build a gantry system like the rest of you since it seems to work better (or at least faster). Its always nice (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

In fact, the 16x16 cross track is the best piece to work out (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Another apect I was recently thinking about is where tracks usually cross baseplates. For instance, is it "easier" to get a straight section right next to the edge of a 32x32 baseplate, or six studs away? Or eight? Or... what? Does this always have (...)
