| (...) I ran my VB program and came up with the following: 7 x 20:36 7 x 16:24 which produces an error of 0.991 meters per kilometer. Of course, packaging that many gears is probably a bit challenging ... but I'll bet you can do it ;) (16 years ago, 13-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | Request for 7750 sticker scan
|
| I have troubles recreating the CFN sticker of the 7750: (URL) might have it somewhere but then it will be somewhere far, far away in a box full of trains (I found 2x 7750 in our collection but both without any stickers at all). I have checked most (...) (16 years ago, 13-Aug-08, to lugnet.trains)

| Nice box ! I ran most ratios through a pathetic microsoft product to derive a comparible metric read-out for those that made the transition from the stone age. put simply: 1 1:12 3 20:36 1 16:24 produces 1:104.9 at 95.5mm per rotation or for every (...)

| (...) I'd love to see what you come up with! however I fear Philo may be right about it being too large. Your mechanism is shorter at 3 studs (2 cogs and a support) my chain precession drive is 4 studs long. Also the precession mechanism needs 9 (...)

I can't remember who it was, but someone (don't even ask me to remember who, or where to find this) came up with a (...) (16 years ago, 9-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Well, if a real train hits curves in any manner similar to how a LEGO train does, then the inside wheel will probably lift up enough to at least slip on the rail, which would result in that very effect. On the plus side, as it loses power, it (...) (16 years ago, 7-Aug-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

I seem to recall that use of differentials was explored in geared locomotives (such as Shay, Climax, and Heisler), and was abandoned because the differential caused power loss in curves.
