I took some more (URL) better> (sic) pics of my trolley. Some points of interest: One pic has Ross posed in front of it to give an idea of its size. These pics show it posed on some Aristo G scale trucks. The trolley itself is built to about (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Yup. Old gray. (...) Well, this MOC is actually a digression from my G scale course, because I've basically built it around the dark blue curved slopes. So I think this trolley is about 1:18 scale, or basically miniland scale (1:20). Of (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi all, here some more info: There's no secret in it. It's just an prototype of the 7996 point with adhesive copper tape that i tinned / soldered with a solder iron using solder 60/40, witch means 60% lead and 40% tin. The used copper tape (i (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Any idea how much weight was being pulled? 20 flatcars could be lighter than 20 boxcars. That amount of run time with that many cars does sound promising though. -Elroy (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) This is just plain cool! Can you provide any link to where you bought the copper tape? Have you tested the points yet? Other than durability of the tape (which you'll be testing later), how does it work from an electrical standpoint? Same as (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) At last! That looks cool. Until you say otherwise I'm going to guess those windows in the doors are grey. What scale are you working to? 45mm track at standard gauge gives about 1:30 but it looks narrow gauge to me. Tim (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi, Just uploaded 2 pictures of the new 7996 RC point witch is covered with self adhesive tinned copper. The self adhesive copper is used in the electronic bussines to close gaps in racks or PC cases to prevent EMC radiation. (2 URLs) Now waiting (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX) !

Now that really looks amazing! The curved pieces and non-standard colors make it look very realistic! Great work! Scott (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

It sounds like a survey is in order... Take all the feature wish lists from individuals and clubs, boil them down and prioritize them. I'm sure LEGO and the AFOL insiders have their own set of lists based on the tons of feedback from lugnet.trains, (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice! Love the doors. BIG! I am thinking that at this scale, you will be the first to build a building with dark tan bricks. I am pretty sure duplo bricks are already available in dark tan. ;o) Jonathan (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Awesome trolley! You definitely take trains to (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Well, it surprises me... but then again, I've just heard folks debate it, not actually test it or try it out. Thanks! I use 2500 mAh NiMH in my NXTs and RCXs, and I've been happy with them, but an 8 hour run time pulling 20 cars is... well, (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains)
