  Re: Does anyone know how to modify a train controler?
 
(...) Well, I want to modify mine to output a constant 9V for powering technic motor gadgets (e.g. point motors). I've just got some polarity switches, and I want to fit them on my controller. I've been advised to wire up my own 9V regulator with a (...) (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Does anyone know how to modify a train controler?
 
My suggestion is to use a RCX and a remote control to control your train, you can lismit highest speed in NQC or legOS program, then your children can use remote control, simpler than regulator. Zhengrong (...) (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Black and White Box
 
(...) All "legends" sets come in black and white boxes. It is sort of like a classic black and white film thing I guess. Martin (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Black and White Box
 
I just received the Lego Legends Rail Club Car (Item 10002). The most striking aspect is the box, which is printed in Black & White. Is it normal for this set? Maybe Lego was just in a rush to clear the backlog. Thanks, Andrea (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  heavy cargo series
 
Excerpted from (URL) it relates to (cargo) train discussion, but I'm mindful of the TOS ---...--- I've also added solid/heavy cargo containers - they're in the trains section. Here's my favorite of the ten - they're all similarly designed/styled. (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Does anyone know how to modify a train controler?
 
(...) My solution was to add a resistor over them (picture later). Yes the lowest is 2.9V. By adding a resistor over them all makes i affect the higher settings more than the lower ones. This is right for less that 2.9V is not enough for the motor (...) (23 years ago, 25-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Track combos
 
Hi all, Can someone tell me what were the reference #s of the two 9V track combos that LEGO used to sell? (does TLC still sell them?) TIA, Pedro (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Does anyone know how to modify a train controler?
 
(...) You are right. I think it's 2.9 volts or there abouts. Anything less and it's too low. Inside is just mis matched resistors. As you turn the knob up it just pulls more of them out of the circuit. Dean (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: 10001 & 10002 arrived today
 
(...) Just to put closure on the thread, my 20002 arrived 6 days after speaking to customer service, and it's AWSOME! VIVA LEGENDS!!! (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Does anyone know how to modify a train controler?
 
(...) One might think that the settings (based on 9v max) are 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, and 9, but they aren't. I cannot remember where the scale starts on the speed controller, but I think it is around 3V. Below that setting (3V?), there just isn't (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.trains)
