Hi all. I'm taking a short break from preparing for Brickworld 2008 and I figured I'd check LUGNET whilst waiting for dinner to finish cooking. I haven't heard much from the "Train Crue" or any other Brickworld attendees lately on here. I'm sure (...) (16 years ago, 1-Jun-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.events.brickworld)

(...) Actually, it's a coded message regarding the future of 9V trains... No, just kidding. Here's what really happened: For the trainwheel part on the LEGO PAB website, there is a "diameter" symbol (looks like a circle with a diagonal line across (...) (16 years ago, 30-May-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I've got a theory on this - and you're welcome to test it! First, you can still order a train wheel axle by creating an LDD model of the train wheel set and ordering it (kind of silly, but it works). If you do this, LDD will report that the (...) (16 years ago, 29-May-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice build, I like the detailing under the running boards on the engineer's side. I saw the flickr comment on the pilot. One idea might be to flip the mech arms upside down (so they bend upward) in the middle of the pilot and/or at the (...) (16 years ago, 27-May-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

Though I think with all of that weight from the batteries, it would be good to also get a motor under the car and (...) (16 years ago, 27-May-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) As with other trains of yours, this one transcends the line between train and work of art. I just think it's great! Models like this one are a clear reminder of why the LEGO Train hobby is so great! (as are BBB wheels) Very nice work! -Jordan (16 years ago, 23-May-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
