First, I must say that I probably will not set up my 4.5V trains for RC control, but it would be cool to see what you have done. Do you have pictures or more details? Thanks, Chris (...) (25 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

These are the same 4 pictures I have given individual URLs for before but now, at last, they're in a page. Go to my site (see my sig) and look for "GMLTC Teaser Page" just before all the boilerplate and awards and links and stuff. Enjoy. Maybe this (...)

(...) It actually depends on the country as to what system is used. Germany used a number-letter-number designation for steam engines (2-c-1 would be a 4-6-2). The US tends towards using a name for them (a Pacific) the UK uses (4-6-2 or Pacific) And (...) (25 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Of course there's nothing which says he can't run 4.5v trains on the 9v track since they're battery powered (hm, interesting idea, have a 4.5v passenger train running around the track, run your 9v freight train switching etc. You better not (...) (25 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

Dan- If I may make a suggestion. First of all welcome! My suggestion would be this. Most of us run the newer 9 volt trains which came out in 1991. Although the track gauge is the same to your battery track, you won't be able to run anything (...) (25 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

I have the 1985 7722 4.5v train set and some extra track. I'm brand spanking new to building LEGO trains, but after seeing some of the work from this group, I can not wait to get started. I want to start building my track inventory. Can anyone help (...) (25 years ago, 28-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

After all how many trains have a large glass popup (or not popup) canopy on the engine. That canopy (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

US does not use the "o" part. There was a long thread on this in RTL I think, where I pontificated at length. Some US examples: A (GM) DD40AX is a D-D (hence the model designation) 2 trucks, 4 axles each. I think the trucks have steerable outer (...) (25 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
