Here's an update on my parts experiments. I've added quite a few Technic parts: (URL) expansion link (URL) , based on a 1x3 thin liftarm, allows an axle or peg to slide in the 1x2 slotted hole. Very useful for steam engines: (URL) (It would go (...) (19 years ago, 2-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.technic)

(...) Mat, Thanks for the words of encouragement. Your suggestions are excellent. First, I should mention that I know LEGO train fans are often quite electronically-savvy and have developed their own lighting kits in some cases. I am hoping to reach (...)

(...) Jordan, these look great. I've been making something similar for my own trains for awhile. Are yours constant output style? Or does the output vary with the voltage supply? It's funny, but this was something I pursued when I first got into (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-06, to lugnet.market.brickshops, lugnet.parts.custom)

(...) Actually a typical bridge rectifier will drop ~1.4 volts in the supply. That's alot! About a 16% drop in voltage, and a 29% drop in overall power at the top end. I'm not sure what effect this would have on the control circuitry. Mat (20 years ago, 27-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

(...) Actually, it would be easy enough for someone with electronics and microcontroller experience just to build a new receiver. You typically record the IR signals on a PC, figure out how they're coded, then program a microcontroller to decode (...)

(...) I’m still trying to figure all that out. If I make 20+ at a time it wouldn't be horrible but it's still a little time consuming. Here’s a short list of components 1 IR receiver base <not listed on bricklink yet so ???...??? 2 28guage 4 strand (...)
