  Re: BayLTC Logo finished
 
(...) I just noticed something. It may be that I don't know the difference, but doesn't LEGO have a ® "circle R" after it and not the ™ "TM"? Russell (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: New Train Window Ideas (old and copied)
 
(...) That's a good idea to use the 1x1 technic beam with a 1.21 techinic pin with stud end. I wonder if connecting with only one stud at either end would give the wall of windows to much freedom to rotate? Probably no problem since the wall of (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Pantograph powered LEGO trains?
 
James, I responded to your post earlier today but it didn't show-up so here's another try. I've been making Z-scale models under a microscope for years so Lego scale is a cakewalk in comparison. Kathryn, made in 1996, was decorated entirely with (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)
 
  electromagnetic switcher engine
 
Has anyone looked into the feasibility of building a switcher with an electromagnet? It seems to me it would be simple, excluding the switch for the circuit. The switch would need to be remote to allow freedom of movement to the engine. The (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Pantograph powered LEGO trains?
 
(...) Let me just begin by saying these are incredible creations! Absolutely stunning. My question is WHERE are you buying these so called stickers? I'd like to know where you are finding sheets of green and gold stickers etc. Or are you just just (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: New Train Window Ideas (old and copied)
 
For a right angle element, just use the 1x1 technic beam with a 1.2l technic pin with stud end. That one works fine and there are no mismatched lengths to worry about and no weird shapes on the back of it to worry about either. 1x1 brick with side (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) vertical sides or hollows on two vertical sides. I think I got some from the green/black aquanauts sets called Aquaraiders(?). Maybe some came in Freestyle buckets? Anyone now of a current source for these side-stud/hollow bricks? Maybe 1x2 (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Pantograph powered LEGO trains?
 
Frank, Kathryn is powered by an old 12v motor pulling power from a dummy 9v mechanism in the tender. The old 12v motors generally run quieter, smoother, slower, and just look better for steam loks than the 9v ones. The new 9v motors, however, are (...)

  Re: Pantograph powered LEGO trains?
 
(...) That seems hard to believe! Are you, for instance, putting stickers on all sides and faces of those 1x1 with side studs? That is a lot of VERY fine sticker work. Way better fine motor control in your fingers than I would ever hope to have. (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: Pantograph powered LEGO trains?
 
Brain, Wow, those are some very impressive examples of your work. I'd love to see in some more detail on how you create the stickers. It's hard to believe that the three green bricks on the front of your "Kathryn" are not painted and only covered (...)
