  BBB Medium drivers
 
I recently made some crude but perfectly useable versions of the BBB medium drivers: both flanged and blind. They're a fair bit smaller than Ben's originals and make extensive use of primitives. <https://sites.googl...elgambort/ (URL) Since BS (...)

  Re: Reducing voltage
 
(...) Hello, you can put AC or DC voltage at the input of the regulator with no problem as long as you don't put more than 9VAC~14VDC. The internal circuit will take both. So a quick fix that put 4.5~5V DC at the input will ouput about 3~3.2VDC at (...) (15 years ago, 23-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Reducing voltage
 
(...) I think this is how you want to do it. A simple solution would be to go to Radio Shack, and buy a couple large ceramic resistors. (not sure the values you'd want, but something low). Then, take a normal 9v wire, cut it, and insert the (...) (15 years ago, 23-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Reducing voltage
 
(...) Years ago PNLTC used to do this for the kids table at the show. From what I recall, we just drove a screw though the controller at about the 4th notch in the black area on each side to keep it from turning too far. It is a very long lasting, (...)

That's interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing the info. Scott W. (15 years ago, 23-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Reducing voltage
 
Our club lets kids run the controller for one of the lines when we do certain events (like, right now, with Detroit Festival of Trees), but we could use a way to forcibly limit the speed on the line that they're allowed to run. One way that's really (...) (15 years ago, 23-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: BBB&C "new" 4-2-0 and Class A Shay locomotives
 
(...) Oh yeah, there are folks still lurking about over here. I'll occasionally glance at those fancy new "forums", but there are way too many to keep track of. I depend on the RailBricks bloggers to point me to the best that's out there that hasn't (...) (15 years ago, 22-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Pulling power of different train systems
 
Hello after a long time! I played around somewhat with the different train systems. The result is displayed in this table: (URL) And probably more interesting as a video: (URL) Pulling power of different train systems at YouTube> The used test rig (...)

  Re: BBB&C "new" 4-2-0 and Class A Shay locomotives
 
(...) I've probably posted here more recently than you ;) (...) But of course. I've been almost tempted to post a few of my latest trains here (especially the CAD ones for old times sake) but I wasn't sure if there was anyone still reading .trains. (...)

  Re: BBB&C "new" 4-2-0 and Class A Shay locomotives
 
(...) Just to add to the discussion, I find that if your camera supports it, long exposures can really make taking pictures of a primarily black MOC much easier.
