(...) I think you're right. There's simple grabbers in past LEGO sets that worked well, but required the Hand of God to firmly attach and grip the container. You may have to use a motorized arm with a small micro-motor to handle the grasping and (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

You people! I'm not a train person ... correction, I wasn't a train person ;) Now, I'm working on an idea for my piece of some future train show. I found out the proper name for what I want to make is an intermodal transfer station. A fancy gantry (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Sometimes a little gentle nudging and encouragement by others is all it takes to spur greater creativity. I have found this to be true for me since last weekend's meeting. I have been accumulating Lego parts to build trains for several years, but (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

I did not read all the technical stuff in the background threads, but I definitely give this a thumbs up and hope that it performs as intended. BTW, I was actually (...)

(...) I was trying to figure out how to make the letters stand out a little more, but without going to 4 length (current length is 3) it is very difficult. The length of the trailer will not allow four length letters unfortunatly. I haven't really (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)

Probably not much you can do with the resolution of the LUCNY letters on the side, but maybe more stacked plates would help instead of (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.lucny)
