After lots of time to think, I've decided to convert to 8-wide. I was looking at my containes for trains, and they started to look real small, so I've decided to convert the containers to 6 and the trains to 8. I'll keep some of my 6-wides, and (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

I just wanted to say thanks for the kind words. The Technic axle is a #2 not a #3. I also considered using a 1/2-connector-peg-1/2-axle-peg piece too. I might revisit that idea when I run out of #2 axles. The steering piece thingy could be replaced (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)

(...) I love your truck design. I might suggest using an axle piece 1 size shorter than what is in your display, (a "2" instead of a "3", or similar) but otherwise I have no complaint. As for your other problem, I think it is the downside of running (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)

Hey, looks like a nice setup you've got there. Is that from a specific event? I like the bridge there, it's not too huge a rise so that it looks unnatural. The roundhouse looks pretty cool too. The colors are a bit McDonald-ish though. ;-) And, why (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

Hey all, I finally had the chance to run my trains this weekend. If you don't know, I have been building my trains 8-wide, and the size and weight of my cars was causing a problem. The surging that the long cars cause as they go through the corners (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-01, to lugnet.trains) !

I would do both, convert 7722 to 9v AND buy two 'build your own trains' - say a small loco and a large loco and tender - from them you get the other combinations. Buy any Lego train you can. David (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
