  Re: BBB&C "new" 4-2-0 and Class A Shay locomotives
 
(...) LOL It takes a village, Benn! It would be great to have the Old-Timers back and chatting again! JOHN (15 years ago, 24-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hey, a dark red Duck! (URL) A tasty build, Tim! Thanks for posting it here; I really would have missed it otherwise. I would like to see your virtual version as well. JOHN (15 years ago, 24-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Pulling power of different train systems
 
(...) Grüße, Ben! Good to hear from you! (URL) (...) This is a great video, and hilarious at the end! LOL (...) Thanks for posting, Ben! I hope to see you and HoMa, et al, around LUGNET a little more in the future! JOHN (15 years ago, 24-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: Reducing voltage
 
(...) You have to be careful here. The controller is designed to take AC or DC, but the input diodes that that convert the AC to DC are only rated for 1 Amp (1000 milliampres). Make sure your transformer/wallwart is not rated for more than this. (...) (15 years ago, 24-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

  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, (...)
