(...) It would be a useful exercise for someone with electronics skills to (if possible) figure out the IR stuff and draw up a circuit diagram for the IR baseplate piece. (20 years ago, 1-Aug-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod)

(...) It's a nice modification, but I can't help thinking it'd be better and cheaper all round to just build an IR receiver circuit for this - there's very little of the original configuration left in your mod. One mod I would like to see (to save (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jul-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

(...) <SNIP> (...) Well, its persuaded me to go and get one to modify sometime :) (...) Seeing a the instructions are already here (in your post). I'd look at selling preassembled units rather than explaining how to further than you already have. (20 years ago, 31-Jul-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod)

Hey all, Well I’m at it again. This time I bring you something with more usability. As most of you reading this should know the Lego Company recently released 2 IR train sets. While the idea is great, the implementation left much to be desired. The (...)

(...) Hi James, This caught my eye earlier today. Great work as usual, especially under the constraint of incorporating the IR box. The magnifying glasses are a great idea (I've not seen it before). But... 1x1 slopes don't come in green ;) Tim (20 years ago, 28-Jul-06, to lugnet.trains)

While I'm not 100 percent sure what the new 6 x 30 IR train baseplate looks like, I tried to fake it for an experiment to build a locomotive based on the German DB Class 144 as inspired by the new IR set loc as a starting point. I've seen better (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-06, to lugnet.trains)
