(...) <snip> (...) Thanks Joe. Actually, I'm very happy with the size...the first prototype was 15 studs long! The handcar litterally got better each time Shaun and I went "back and forth" with the design. Looking back, it seems that Shaun's (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Yeah, I've been saying for the longest time that MARTA needs to go from hub and spoke system to a series of loops... imagine MARTA's east line runing up to Stone Mountain, out to Snellville/Lawrenceville, to Duluth, then right along 85 to Doraville (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Very cool! Don't worry about it being oversized though. You should see an O-gauge handcar! :^P The little guys with the Studio heads are a great touch. and the basketball legs are a stroke of genius, I must say. I can't understand why you need three (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

I agree but Chuck did mention that is was made in the style of many machines drawn up by Rube Goldberg. I have some draw of attention to his works. Its very amuzing to see a machine that takes the longest, most chaotic and complicated path just to (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If you have an RCX 1.0, it's quite a bit simpler just to power the track directly from the RCX output itself, as long as you don't have too many motors, rather than having the RCX control a device that controls the speed reg. However that (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

No curves, that's kind of the joke of the MARTA system. I only has two lines, one East and West and another North and South. And they wonder why the system is so unused...it really needs to have stops at places people want to go for them to want to (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Sweet. Did it have any curves? Those protective ridges would presumably need to be widened a bit. (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.niltc)

I like the detail on the elevated train, including the traffic light hanging under the track. We had a working elevated train at one time, a simple Mindstorm system controlled it going back and forth. It was modeled after the local MARTA train line (...)
