 Technic / 16412 (-10)
  Re: LEGOdometer
 
(...) It would certainly help my slow mind ;o) Though I think I got it through your explainations. (...) Very elegant and parts savvy, but I am not sure it would provide a design as compact as yours. (...) Sorry to disturb you ;o) Philo (16 years ago, 6-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

(...) --snip (as is my own tendency ;) )-- Wow. I imagine if I had a clue how to build technic there'd be a few more wows but you can tattoo me impressed as is. Tim (16 years ago, 6-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGOdometer
 
(...) Interesting. I thought this might be interesting to use in our displays...until I read that it binds up in reverse. When we lose a car for whatever reason (often some young kid's hand straying where it ought not to), we usually recouple by (...) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

A nice explanation and reading. A better MOC. Also intend to return later and read it more carefully. It is extensive, to get everything at first. ;) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Shaun, Impressive work, both in construction and the write up! Welcome back to the fold of trains (at least for a little bit)...did you know that the next National Train show (that ILTCO has been particpating heavily since 2005) will be in Hartford (...)

(...) Your "LEGOdometer" is amazing! I especially liked hearing about the design process and the fact that the final product is purely mechanical. I'd never be able to design something like this... -Bryan (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Tom Atkinson pointed out that same thing ... it's something that never even struck me while I was working on it. The irony just makes it all the more ridiculous, in a fun way! (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: LEGOdometer
 
(...) Thanks! Both were fun ;) (...) I don't yet, though I can easily do that. The 4-spoked technic joiners, when turned, rotate the 16T gear at the opposite end of the dial. That gear then connects to two idler gears which drive a 40T gear; that (...) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

(...) Insane. Amazing. Shock. Awe. (and Spotlight.) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) <snip> Great idea! Tempting to build something similar for our next show... The only disappointing part of the story is that it took a number of days of computing power to come up with a solution that doesn't use computing power ;-) (16 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)
