Paul Foster caught a picture of the GMLTC layout that barely shows our curved bridge. I wasn't able off hand to find a better one. Sorry:-( Perhaps J-1 or (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | Anyone built a curved bridge?
|
|
It's that time of the year again for me to start planning my Christmas train layout and one idea that hit me was a curved bridge. I've been thinking of using a simple 90' arc with no straight rails between the curved to extend the arc length. I (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

|

Hi, I was playing around with a recently acquired 7862 12V remote controlled decoupler, and was wondering if I could see how other people have fared with this set. The obvious negative, is that it needs the old fashioned magnets (5066)with the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Matt, your TGV is just awesome. All the latest passenger trains are EXCELLENT- I only wish every one had all the disk space and camera equipment they could want so we all could see the latest variations. I got to see Dave V's TGV at the PNLTC (...) (25 years ago, 25-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

Here's my interpretation of the TGV (URL) could still do with a bit of work and some better photos but Steve Barile was dying to see my progress. It uses my spring-loaded close-coupled articulation that Steve mentioned. Matt (25 years ago, 24-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

I have never seen/recognized a 9V piece for that purpose. But you can use the middle wheels from the 12V motor and fit them into the holes on the side of the 9V motor. I suspect that TLG put the holes there to eventually offer spare wheels, but (...) (25 years ago, 24-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

Okay, so I'm looking at my old 12 volt train motor, and it's got two drive wheels per side and a hole in between each of them to add a third wheel. And my 12v set included these extra wheels so that I have the option of adding them, or not. Now I'm (...) (25 years ago, 24-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)
