Here are a few pics of my entry into TLC's Stock Car Challenge: (URL) called it "Santa's Stock Car", because the design is based on a Christmas Train car that I began building around Christmas last year (but never posted pics). I will post pics of (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

|

(...) If you mean "can 12V motors be modified to run on 9V track?"[1] Then I'd say yes and no. "No" because 9V motors pickup the power from the rails it run on. The 12V motor doesn't have metal wheels to pickup power so you would have to modify the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

I got my 10001 and 10002 today, and on the packing slip it said that there is a separate corrected page to the building instructions included, but there is none to be found. Did that happen to anyone else? Or are they just really well hidden? Adam (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

Oops, sorry Mike, I meant to send this to Lugnet, not to you. Chris (...) Wow, I did not know that LEGO had created a whole train site area. By the way, way to go James. I get the feeling that I am WAY behind the times here. Chris (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The NGLTC has (at least) one of these. They are very handy, not for the kids layout, but for the big layout in areas where the kids can grab the controller and send your nice trains flying. I've used one but never created one, so perhaps this (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

This is very simple. There are 9 steps, which are clearly when one opens the controller. I don't have it handy right now, but what one could do, is to cut the last pads and connect them to the wanted highest speed e.g. 5, so pads 5-9 would be (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
