|
| (...) I'd like to comment a little on this, I've thought about the logistics... First, model trains have flex track, one rail is usually permenant, while the other slides. Also, they have pure metal rails, now with LEGO track, there is plastic under (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

| This is the latest addition to Bricktopia. It is another train station on the far side of town. This one is significantly smaller than the primary transit terminal, but still has some interesting architectural features to it. (URL) usual, on the (...)

| (...) Not necessarily. That's the conventional way to do it, yes... but what if there were sliding parts at each tie point? in that case the outer rail would "get longer" so to speak, with no cutting needed. Might be frightfully expensive though. (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) I'd tend to agree with your thoughts on spacing - the other question is, do they make the sections 22.5 deg to match the current ones, or do they go to 11.25 deg to make the sections smaller? Or maybe even 15 deg (24 per circle), or 18 deg (20 (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Re: Track? MOC or New?

| I think we are closer to seeing a new larger track radius than anything else, mostly cause it seems like the least R&D dollars and is backwardly compatible with all other track elements. SteveB (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.trains)
