I'm aware many of you have heard this somewhere, sometime, before but on Saturday, March 24, in Mission Viejo CA, there will be a very important meeting held. One that I and other like myself hope will finally get the Southern California Lego Train (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

Base on the discussion, I think we can use Insulated Track Components in block control or RCX control, especially in RCX control, if your program has a bug, it is easy to lead to short circuit, I designed all Insulated Track Components, you can find (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If you thought you needed my approval, consider it given, but I don't think you need it. I didn't use a normal train plate. I put the 9V motor as low as I could in the design--I actually built the "fuel tanks" around it so it kept the center (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Tony, I like your design. In the front 3/4 view, it looks great, but in the side views, it looks a bit stubby. Are those engines stubby, or is this a LEGO effect? D'oh! I just read the text on the side view page!!! Sorry. Anyway, like the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I like the Starbucks, I've got one going too, but mine is in a skyscraper, i just need a sign, I also have a Subway in the same building. Its amazing the number of "commercialized" buildings poping up. Josh (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

Hey, Those are really great! I've been shifting to ever larger buildings lately in an attempt to get something really cool, but I'm amazed at how many smaller buildings have come out lately of such fine quality. Hmmm - Maybe bigger isn't necessarily (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

Many of you may remember Steve Barile's great buildings that he posted a while back (see (URL) Well, after seeing them and a few others at the GATS show in Portland, I couldn't get them out of my head. I had to build a couple of similar icons. So I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town) !!

(...) No, it doesn't seem to. But the big ol' 9v motor makes the loc very top-heavy. It can't do corners at full speed if it has a decent straight lead into them. If I do that again, I might try using a micromotor and gearing it up. On the other (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)
