Well that was a busy little weekend! I had a fantastic time (albeit a little tiring) and it was purely due to the people that showed up! Deb and Jason came down from our nations' capital! Deb with the wonderful buildings! And jason with the (...)

Hi Matija, I'm working on a very similar project! Here are the project goals: A design surface to create a model of the layout Wire up components and controls (engines, lights, level crossings, accessories) Interfaces with the Control Lab, RCX, and (...) (17 years ago, 27-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Very Impressed! The mere fact that it works as good as it looks had me drooling. Then seeing it do it at that speed, that simply killed me! Great work! I am very very impressed and might I add, humbled. DRS (17 years ago, 27-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) If you post it somewhere (compiled) I'd be happy to take a look and try and track it down for you. I don't however have the usb device so hopefully it crashes before it gets that far? (17 years ago, 27-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

I don't think I have any special codec installed. Anyone else having problems watching the (...) (17 years ago, 26-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hey train fans, My latest creation. A train that lays out track as it goes.

(...) That's a cool idea, Dean! I hadn't thought of that possibility. It seems like that sort of system would have backward-compatibility issues with the past generation of magnetic couplers, though. If you brought a new mag coupler in contact with (...) (17 years ago, 25-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Could they have North on the left, and south on the right, thus when two come together, each pole would be up against its opposite? This is the only way I can see it working, but I'm not sure what their side on strength would be. (17 years ago, 25-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) At present, it looks like you can build models using these new buffers, but you cannot yet order them. Such models lead to an "out of stock" message on the LEGO Factory website. This isn't too surprising, given that these parts are not (...) (17 years ago, 23-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

The problem I run into is that my boiler isn't all one color, so in order to use your (...) (17 years ago, 22-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

I like the curved half arch look better, but last I checked they were (...) (17 years ago, 22-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

I've used half cylinders before on my streamlined (...) (17 years ago, 22-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
