| I designed a nuclear flask wagon and runner in CAD (URL) nearly four years ago>. I've finally built them and another British wagon, a hopper. (URL) In the time between designing the flask wagon and now, the tan 2x3 inverse slopes and the the white (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | Santa Fe SD45 2B
|
| After building a (URL) BN GP38-2B> a while ago I thought I would build another B unit, this time from the other BNSF constituent. (2 URLs) I'm reasonably pleased with the lettering for a first time attempt but it doesn't look much like the real (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
| | | | | Building other people's designs
|
| I've been building other people's designs recently. (URL) Tim Gould's Seaboard Air Lines VO660, modified a bit. (URL) A couple of reefers from Jake McKee's book, again modified. It's nice having the basis done for you while being able to put your (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

| | | | | Re: A Technic Train
|
| Nifty work there! It definetly looks fun, and makes me want to get some of those wheels. Without a differential, does it suffer on curves(1)? The only work around I can think of would be to only power one side of each axle, or put the gearing the (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX)
| | | | | A Technic Train
|
| The new Lego remote-controlled (RC) trains use train wheels with Technic axle holes (only in the wheels connected to the motor, unfortunately). This creates an opportunity to power a train using essentially any Technic or Mindstorms motor, not just (...) (18 years ago, 8-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX) !
| | | | | Technic Clock Tower Building with Electric Drive
|
| I built a new version of my clock tower building for a recent train layout with (URL) NELUG>. The clock mechanism is built from 100% genuine LEGO and is driven by a 9V (RIS-style) motor powered from a train transformer at a bare minimum voltage. I (...)

| | | | | LDD Model of GG-1 Electric Locomotive - Advice Requested
|
| I decided to model the very well known GG1 locomotive as a model available from LEGO Factory. I took some liberties with the design and color scheme in order to accomodate what can be done in LDD. Even so, I think the result is inherently (...) (18 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX) !
| | | | | Re: Save the 10183 trains!
|
| (...) I must be missing something here--I mean you can go out and buy a really cheap Windows machine or a Mac mini that will run LDD. Money is obviously not a problem--since you state that 5 sets is just a "fair amount of money". To me that is a (...) (18 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd)
