  Re: DCC slowing?
 
(...) Steel wool? Wow! I would think that would be a bit harsh on LEGO track and I can imagine lots of fibers getting caught on the studs of the ties as well. I found that using a small dab of Brasso on a cloth rag and running it down the rails (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: DCC slowing?
 
(...) I was thinking that as long as we are modifying the motors in a manner to perform better, I was looking at the possible places we could open the motor box to allow ventilation for the motor. Perhaps we could cut a hole on the bottom directly (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: DCC slowing?
 
(...) At the Indianpolis LEGO Road Show this past Friday, we ran the same layout as John referred to at the top of this thread. All the heavy locos that ran the outer loop experienced the exact same symptoms as he mentioned above, to the point where (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
 
  Re: New train MOC and Orange passenger car

  modeling monorail ramps (TrackDraw)
 
Track Designer models a pair of monorail upper and lower ramp parts as a single piece. Do you view this as a feature or a restriction? I can't recall seeing half of a ramp unconnected to the other half in a layout. Have you found a need for half a (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Question to all the other train clubs
 
(...) I'm not sure I can help you get the members enthused about working on the layout again, but I might be able to offer some suggestions that could help the club get back that close knit feeling. Recently I asked the question "What makes a good (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org, FTX)

  Re: COLTC Mall at Tuttle Crossing Show Report
 
(...) There seems to be a wind powered generator, but I don't see any very good shots of it. Are there more, did I miss it/them? Is it something else? Ken (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: New train MOC and Orange passenger car
 
(...) The total wieght of those bricks is higher than the 6081 and plates on top. Leaves also enough room to put lightbulbs (or white LED's) in the top of the roof, witch can't be done with the 6215 bricks. Just thinking a bit ahead ... Regards, (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I suppose it's up to us to change that impression when we give interviews. If we (collectively) make a conscious effort to say they are not just for kids, perhaps it will change over time? -Tim (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains.org.niltc, lugnet.loc.us.il)

(...) The article doesn't make more than the usual number of errors (BrickLink.com as a source for "LEGOS" ...) but I do wish the media would give up on the "adults playing with kids toys" angle, it gets a little tiresome.
