  Re: FS: 5561 model team Off-Road Van 4x4
 
(...) I think the type of tank car Larry is talking about has 20 rows of cylinders laying flat in the same orientation as the one large cylinder of a normal tank car. Why they do this, I don't know. Probably something to do with safety. (26 years ago, 21-Nov-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: FS: 5561 model team Off-Road Van 4x4
 
(...) While you mention it, what did you use for the cylinder of that yellow tank car that you built? (26 years ago, 21-Nov-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)

(...) <snip> (...) I want you to have your camera back too, cuz I can't picture in my head what all those round yellows are doing! Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but its 5:36pm and I've been at work since 6:30am... duuuuhhh...hhh... ;-P (26 years ago, 21-Nov-98, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)

(...) This is a good deal, especially if you like red or white, this set has a fair number of red and white plates and red and white slopes... also red and white train windows (but with plain clear glass) and white train doors.

  lego package disguise was Re: Trains around the Christmas Tree
 
Larry brought up Christmas first, so I get to tell about the many ways I have diguised lego packages under the tree. One year I put enough bricks in every package so that they all appeared to be legos. One year I removed the legos from the box and (...) (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
 
  S@H reps, was Re: Trains around the Christmas Tree

  Re: 9V Speed Regulators
 
(...) The transformers put out unregulated AC, unregulated means the voltage will vary depending on the load. It will need to put out at least 9V when fully loaded but will probably put out nearer 12V when unloaded. Matt (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)
 
  9V Speed Regulators
 
Hi all, I have a mystery. I just got a 4564 which naturally comes with a speed regulator. It also came with a 120V transformer which will never get used. I wonder what happens when you plug it into a 240V power supply, No can't do that either power (...) (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Track Switch solenoids
 
(...) My problem with using pneumatics for the job is that the pistons stick after sitting for a while. You have to break them loose manualy before they will work normalyy again. I forsee another problem using them for my layouts since the distances (...) (26 years ago, 19-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)

I have been planning a Christmas village and a christmas engine. I have been in development for a long time. I have nothing I would show anyone yet.

  Re: Trains around the Christmas Tree
 
(...) Great idea! I just used 1x1 bricks and stuck Santa from set 1555 in the middle of them on car-carrier flatcar (I forget the name ATM). (...) You could also use the above larger Santa and lots of forestmen for elves. They look close enough. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

  Re: Track Switch solenoids
 
(...) Larry - I don't know if I've talked to you about this yet, but I modified my switches to work on air power. This involves drilling the switch apart and gluing it back together, but it _is_ an all-LEGO solution, and relatively cheap, too. (URL) (...) (26 years ago, 16-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains)
