(...) Mike, That is a good idea, IMO to turn the modules sideways to give yourself extra room. I am doing the same think in my home layout of 5 modules. They are going together like this: |---...---|---...---|---...---| | | | | | | | | |---...---| (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

(...) Why do this? Just match the heights! If the top of the GMLTC module is the same height as the PNLTC module you're all set. However... hmm. there may still need to be a transition because PNLTC modules have fixed height legs. So do GMLTC (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf.sj, lugnet.trains.org)

Plus there's also the time issue. But ya, I probably ought (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf.sj, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) The consensus is that it is possible, and in fact, I think someone has done it. See Brian's green German train in the GMLTC NMRA show pics (various sites). It is impure(1) to do so as opening up the motor irreparably damages it (but not in a (...) (25 years ago, 5-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

I am researching the feasibility of building an RCX project (mobile wireless TV camera) that moves on a fixed course and gets its power from the mains via an AC adapter (rather than from batteries) and as such, the train components seem to provide (...) (25 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
