Reference (URL) noticed early on that there is a significant voltage drop between 9V track sections. I put a large steam loco, which uses 2 train motors and 2 71427 technic motors, in a siding. When it was a metre from where the feed from a standard (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains)

I have been limited recently to building virtual MOCs due to a lack of space for the real thing. So when I wanted to see if I could build a representation of the train station in Jasper, Alberta I turned to MLCAD and POV RAY. The results can be seen (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I've been working on a 4-6-4 using the BBB wheels, with some very good luck. I'm using a linkage design similar to that on my 4-8-4 Northern: (URL) a couple other people have mentioned, I had to de-flange one pair of drivers. In order to allow (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I heard someone say they were Fischer Technic (??) wheels. I might have an image somewhere with the contact info on it, I'll check and if I find it I'll post it. JohnG, GMLTC (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I meant that I thought the newer version wasn't entirely level either, but I could be wrong. Jason Railton (21 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, FTX)
