| (...) That looks awesome! I'm also glad to know that my Sticker Generator software is being used. If you have any ideas on how to improve the software, please let me know. Again, really great looking model of such a historic box car! Scott (17 years ago, 7-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Just off the top of my head, I have the following thoughts on a prospective new train system. Benn On the batteries: -I am concerned that the weight of batteries could limit long trains. So the battery weight will be just as important as it's (...) (17 years ago, 7-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains)

|
| One of the positive sides of all the recent talk of 9v trains is that it got me building again. I don't usually post renders, but I liked the way this one turned out, and I don't (yet) have the pieces to build it. Here is my version of Rutland (...)

It's kinda funny to watch it take corners, it seems to 'snap' into and out of turns more (...) (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

| Does anyone have a picture or so of the internals of points? I need to but the switch part of all four points to "turning" since I want to use memory wire on it. (17 years ago, 5-Oct-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
