(...) I am really not sure about the 12V motor....you should be able to see about the train motor on the Shop @ Home exclusives...bulk bricks (I think). You can get the technic 9v motors on the Create N Race area... Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

Yargh!! You beat me to it! After the 1/5 stud offset thread, I prototyped some 1/10 stud ideas in MLCAD half the day on Tuesday and then with bricks that night. But I was offline yesterday and just came in today. I still don't have a finished (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

I've just completed your version of the decoupler device, and I must say that it's excellent! 8-wide train builders may want to modify this due to clearance reasons though.-Harvey (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
