 | | Grade Crossing Question
|
|
Hi all, Did a search but couldn't find anything, so... Does anyone know of any curved grade crossings that have been done (I know Lego hasn't made any obviously, I mean if any MOCs exist)? Thanks in advance. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 11-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

Hello to all LEGO Fans! As some might have seen in a few highlighted Lugnet-postings, there has been "our" 1000steine-Land in Berlin/Germany last weekend. I just wanted to give a short show report here and share some insight views from a (...)

Things around Lugnet are really slow. I'm surprised that more people have not commented on how amazing the 1000Steinland exhibits are. I really like the multi-colored medival houses by the port: (from Ben's gallery) (URL) shot alone shows what you (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.de)

Hi Jan-Albert, It was really nice to meet so many LEGO AFOLs. And we especially enjoyed the austrian, hungarian and dutch LEGO fans. We had so much fun! Not only that this event was really H-U-G-E! It has so many details and perfect models, I`ve (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

Yes (to the second question :), the booster code will cut power if the polarity of the track power hasn't changed for 10 milliseconds (or if no power is detected). Basicly, the command station is always sending out packets by flipping the polarity (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

Well done! and THANKS! I tried Sunday night to use lacc as both a decoder and booster, but I didn't have a proper "sensor" (couldn't find my second 9v light), and none of my jury-rigged versions did the trick. I'll pick up some resistors and build a (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

Just curious: Would it also work if the booster is powered by an external source and the LDCC RCX draws its power from the track? Or does the booster have to sense the presence of the DCC controller before it supplies power? (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)

Ok, I think I have it fixed. Apparently, nqc doesn't like .srec files that have gaps in the memory sequence. So, I just added some zeroes in those spots to makes things copacetic... :-) I tested it with the Win32 version of nqc 2.4 a4 and it seems (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.trains)
