|
Hello@all, I didn't found something about #10022 and #10025 in the LUGNET, so I think this is interesting for train fans: (URL) will be two new sets for the Santa Fe Train available in September: #10022; 411 pieces; $34.99: For building a Dining (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains) !!

One of the MOC's I plan on displaying at BrickFest this year is my train The Ghostline Express. I had planned on eventually building an orange colored "Pumpkin Coach" for the train but the appearance of the new curved slopes in medium-orange-yellow (...)

(...) I'm thinking of doing the 12v/4.5v layout on the floor also. Frank (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.events.brickfest)

Whoa. What YOU describe is even more radical. My hypothetical is powered by the 9V supplied by the rails. It just uses some other sort of 9V motor, transmitting motion to the rails some other way than a train motor body/gearing. YOUR hypothetical is (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

Awwww, I got ya. When you were saying "power to the track" before I kept thinking electrical power, but now I understand what you are thinking. Very interesting concept and I agree with you that maybe there should be an unlimited division to include (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) What exactly is a "modified train motor" ?? Here's a hypothetical to make it clearer what I am asking. Suppose I construct something that can get 9v power from the track (wipers, a gutted 9V motor perhaps, whatever) and mount a large electric (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

MSE allows the racer to modify the standard LEGO train engine pretty much anyway that they want. The track will not be modified and will still only supply the standard 9volt current. So the racer must keep that in mind and design his/her (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) MSE rules are what? ANY mechanism for transmitting power to the rails is OK as long as it's powered by 9V supplied by the rails, and as long as there is no more than one electric motor involved? Or just that you can modify existing train motor (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Tim, There really isn't a rule for the length of the track since each club could be dealing with different space requirements. The track we use is 15' approx 35 pieces of track for each side. jt (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)
