On New Year's Eve I was asked if I'd like to help David Jolley with a display in Irthlingborough (UK) to raise money for charity. I was visiting my parents nearby at the time, so took along as many of my models as I could fit in the car. David had a (...)

(...) Maybe it's just me, but I am planning to do mine (if and when, not going to preannounce anything!) in black. I'm not seeing this color difference as huge enough to warrant using tape or paint. It is like those Thornton trucks... (URL) post> (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) True, I should also mention that most sign shops carry a wide selection of vinyl decal sheet. This stuff is thinner then electrical tape, and has less shinkage. I've also used liner tape. Commonally avalible in 1/8" and 1/4", which is extremly (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) That's a good idea. I'd go for removable tape than permanent paint. I'll look into this. Thanks. later, James Mathis (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | RCX seems outputs different power levels
|

Last night I decided to redesign my point to point trolley program. I decided to connect the three RCX outputs in parallel (as suggested by some of LDCC documentation). I also decided to use one of sensor inputs to set the power setting. When I (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) James, I'm in a similar need for split level plates in grey, as I'm woring on a SP 1960 era passenger train. I'm using grey vinyl tape (electrical tape) to cover the sides of a black version. I used yellow tape on a grey 6x28 plate for a ATSF (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
