| | | Can you help me build a prototype? I've been playing around with MLCAD while attempting to create a self-discharging hopper for my train, and I came up with what I think is a valid design for the mechanism. However, the said design includes some of (...) (21 years ago, 11-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.pt)

| | | | | Hi Pedro, Maybe you can post your MLCad file on Brickshelf or somewhere and let us see it? It's hard to know how awkward a liftarm you need without seeing your design. Add a "work in progress, feedback requested" note if you want. Keith "Pedro (...) (21 years ago, 13-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | Pedro, I have experimented with many different mechanisms for auto-discharging hoppers, although none have been like the one you describe. I have tried ones with levers that are moved up and down as the wagon passes a trackside mechanism, and while (...) (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Before anything else, thank you for the reply! In these past few days I've gone out of my mind trying to figure out alternative designs for the discharge mechanism, but as ideas get harder and harder to pop all the input is welcome. (...) I (...)
