(...) Hi Chris, (...) I believe quite a few people have managed to get LDD running under WINE. Since the code was most likely designed from the ground up to work on PCs and Macs it might be emulatable than older versions. --snip-- Tim (18 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd)

(...) Cool all LEGO solution to dodgems. I'm wondering if whacking a couple of soccer balls in the hull (rather than the wheels) might not make for crazier dodgem action. Did you try this at any point? Tim (18 years ago, 6-Apr-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

Hi, Last Saterday it arrived, my 10183. It is an awesome set with loads of parts and possibilities.

(...) No problem, glad it worked. A smaller option to help secure the rails would be to move the jumper plate to the bley rails, and replace the 1x1 plate with a 1x2, attaching it to the blue rails.
