  Re: LDD Model of GG-1 Electric Locomotive - Advice Requested
 
(...) It's also not hinged to another truck; it only has to rotate around its center point. Being attached to the motor truck, the 3-axle trucks in the GG1 are being pulled a little bit off center as the wheels go into the curve, and I think that's (...)

  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Yes, I caught the typo right after I posted... sigh. What I meant to say is that not all the parts came in grey, which is the original color for this locomotive (the original color was actually dark grey, but the 4x4 dome piece doesn't come in (...)

(...) Thanks, John! Coming from you I consider that high praise. With any luck you'll be able to see it with stickers at Brickworld*. But could the world survive the bringing together of two Polar Express on the same display table? Thanks for the (...) (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) My (URL) breakdown crane> has 3 axle trucks using standard LEGO wheelsets, and traverses points just fine, although it does have 4 weight bricks holding it down. ROSCO (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)
 
  Re: LDD Model of GG-1 Electric Locomotive - Advice Requested
 
(...) A brief update ... I got it built a while ago but only today tried putting it on the tracks. Bad news, I'm afraid. To make it work on LEGO curves, you need to remove the 4x6 tile with technic peg from the 3-axle trucks and add some tiles (...) (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)

(...) [...] (...) Pretty nifty indeed. But yellow? I'll assume that this (...) was supposed to mean that all of the parts that you needed came in yellow, so that's the color you chose? Mmmm.... tequila.... Chris (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) It's another Tequila sunrise! No, wait, this is the first one! Wow, that's as impressive a MOC as it is brightly colored, Tony! You've captured the streamlined twenties look very well-- nice and clean, and well-rounded. It looks fast just (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

  Who has made LDD truck/bogie designs?
 
I know that people have come up with some creative truck/bogie designs for their rolling stock. So maybe we could collect a bunch of them so that builders could choose from a variety of designs. I thought of this because I was considering updating (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: FRED- flashing rear end device
 
(...) I like this idea - it adds a nice bit of realism to modern train consists! Too bad Lego lighting wasn't smaller, but for what you had to work with, vool job for sure! And I just saw a History Channel show on trains and they said that trainmen (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
