(...) Seen from my European viewpoint, I've come up with the following solution to run this set in a modern European setting. Simply lower the elevated roof section to about a 1 brick heigth difference (use the windows elswhere), so that bump looks (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'd tend to think that it is a electrical issue. I have hauled 92(IIRC) cars with a single motor- so, you should be able to manage 4 with one motor, under a suitable engine (reasonably heavy). Do the wheels slip on the engine? or does it just (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) <snip> (...) Thanks, Larry. I'm using a 2 motor engine and a 1 motor engine. Both are ~24 stud MOCs. I suppose I should swap some motors around to see if there are problems with the motors I'm using. I first tried just the 2 motor engine to (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

Now before I go buy and destroy a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have.... has anyone made monorail track? It looks like you could make it out of old 12V rails taken off, laid seperately end to end and raised up on 1 or 2 (1x) plates. Have any of you (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

Well, I finally finished my train tables. They basically form a square 10' on a side. I'm having some efficiency problems with the largest loop. I'm having to use 3 engines to pull 4 of the cars from 4561. The loop's length is nearing 40'. What (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

Obviously it wouldn't be free if it came in the box, but I've actually realized that it is probably better that it isn't, as it has been mentioned in this thread that it is possible to buy a speed regulator cheaper than what Lego sells it for. It's (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
