(...) I'm not sure what you mean by color and number. If you are looking for fan part numbers (which may not be the 'official' numbers used by the Lego corp), then my Visual Wheel Helper shows those: (URL) you are looking for Color Numbers as used (...) (19 years ago, 6-May-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The teeth won't match up as you say, but only one if the gears needs to be fixed - the other can be an idler, with its sole function being to pinch the worm gear, not raise the platform. Jennifer (19 years ago, 6-May-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) This is an interesting proposition - but I would be wary. I dont have a Lego worm gear to hand, but if the rear is a half turn out from the front - then the teeth may not match up. Also I think using the worm gears is a great idea -I would (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hmmm. To expand the idea of climbing up four gear racks at the corners, the problem would seem to be burying a motor (or several) in the water+boat system to power the on-platform gears that crawl up the racks. One possibility is how much room (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The 'water' and especially the boat are quite heavy, so any slippable connections would not work. The weight would also cause problems with driving the string reliably. john (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hmmmmmm.... cough... cough....... I think Jeff had a little bit of help ;) Rob, if you come to the next dinner, and if Jeff brings the lift lock, maybe we can put our heads together and come up with a thought or two :) John (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) What if two gears were used, one on either side of the the worm, effectively pinching it between them? That should stop any flexing and prevent the teeth from slipping. Jennifer (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) You know Jeff, for a train guy, you are pretty good with gears :) I think you are very close with Attempt 3. The tricky part is designing a "nut" to mesh nicely with the worm gears. I have a design for a leadscrew that is very smooth and (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.technic)
