Inspired by this loco-- (URL) I made this: (2 URLs) Have a look at the rest of the pics and, if so inclined, let me know what you think!

We're having a blast! I couldn't wait to get home tonight and post a few pics. If you guys are in the Litle Rock area this weekend, you should drop in! Oh, the photos are huge (sorry low bandwidth people)... LDCC yard with 18 switches controlled by (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.msltc, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) (snip original msg) (...) Thanks! Actually, I counted at least 12 of this truck on the layout (I own 6 in different colors). It became pretty popular! ;-) I really like the Shell tanker and the garbage truck made respectively by Kevin and Luc. (...)

(...) Peter, It sounds like the wheels are too close together and can not contact the inside of both rails of a straight. Curves are closer together for a train motor. Wheels are press fit on axles so can move. Bruce (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Okay I tried measuring resistance on track 47 joints long (a broken circle) but still, the resistance is only 2-6 ohms. Then I tried running them one at a time. Even on top notch the older motor needs nudging to start on straight, has real (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

The different color schemes and subtle styling differences do make each one (...)

(...) You can test this for yourself. Measure the voltage of a 9v battery with your voltmeter, then measure it again in series with a 10K resistor. It's still 9V! Now, think of all those track pieces (and joints) as tiny little resistors... :-) Mark (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)
