  Re: Phoenix
 
(...) Yes, I really like those wheels, also. (...) So, they are friction pins at least. And it gives the drive some slip, to help it turn better. Very nice Steve (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Phoenix
 
(...) I see you're paying close attention! I was set on using the chromed (URL) rims> that were used in some versions of (URL) 4883 Gear Grinders>. And sadly, those chromed ones don't have axleholes... Luckily, that can be circumvented. Earlier, (...) (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Phoenix
 
(...) Thank you so much! Since I love both 'regular' bricks and technic I try my best to combine the two, and this was a very satisfying attempt. The normal bricks only go one stud deep (at some places less), what's inside is basically a pure (...) (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Phoenix
 
(...) Very nice. I'm curious about the drive wheels for the tractor. It appears you're using wheels with pin holes, not cross-axle holes. Is that correct, or did you swap out the wheels for different pictures? In any case, it's very nice. Steve (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic)

  Re: Power Functions infra-red RC protocol released!
 
(...) Here's my fantasy: implementing prototypical ATC (Automatic Train Control) signalling with sensors (e.g. counting coupler magnets, as the best functional equivalent to axle counters) at block boundaries to detect block occupancy, and IR (...)

  Re: New TECHNIC sets for Fall 2008
 
(...) I can confirm that these indeed are LEDs: I had one of these train signals as a child and somehow managed to burn out the red light. I then dissected the signal head to find out how it was made (I was about 13 at the time). It's really simple: (...) (17 years ago, 2-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Phoenix
 
Wow, Truly amazing! I'm always thrilled to see minifig scale MOCs that incorporate Technic elements and yours is quite possible the most impressive I've ever seen! And it looks great as well - the Phoenix on the side is truly inspiring! How long did (...) (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Digicomp II
 
(...) Thank you. I had some comments from the students who built a K'nex computer a while back, and one of the things he complemented me on was staying "pure" to the medium I selected, and not to use heavier ball bearings etc. I guess purism in that (...)
