(...) That krokodil engine is the best version I've seen yet. As for the tanker waggons? I'll have to find a way to shamelessly copy those! He! He! When I first glanged at the trains, I thought they were from Marklin. Keep up the awesome work over (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all, i just uploaded some pictures from a little meeting in May 2001 at Ralf's house in Dinslaken Germany. The weather was fine, the layout was set up in the garden and the barbeque was really nice! See some pictures of Andreas Buergel's freight (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Awesome, I'd even allow this to run on my layout! (and I'm not a pasenger train type of guy either) Quite a neat job on that one, James! -Harvey (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The pendular mechanism has a lever-arm-wedge that pushes "out" and "up" on the undercarriage. The tilt could be the result of the centripetal force through a curve, but weight of the car and the "zero" gap above the bogie plate between the (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You are a genius. Here I am spending my weekend building Mini's[1] while you are building an APT. It looks great, and the pendular mechanism is simply the result of the centripetal force, right? Very nicely done. Chris 1. I mention the Mini (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
