| Hello, I have created a fully 9V version of the 7860 (remote controlled signal), but I rarely use it. The isolation afforded by the points usually suffices. If you want more details about the construction, I will have to dig out my notes. It does (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Once again, those who run 6 wide have proven themselves to not care about those of use who model 8 wide. They probably don't have handicapped access to their layout, either. :-) It is unfortunate that many layouts can't handle oversized trains. I am (...)

We had a minor design flaw where most engines couldn't approach the station because they would hit the platform coming through the turn. -chris (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org, lugnet.org.us.wamalug, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.loc.us.va)

|
| Mike, The GATS regional shows are generally "selling" shows held for profits. They typically have many dealer tables and a swap/fleemarket area for private individuals. In Chicago they invite one or two token layouts to display each month as a draw. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Re: 9v train motors at higher voltage
|

| Dear Ben, the Lego®-motors are to small to have a thermal switch. Only the speed regulator has one, to avoid damage on the regulator by short cuts in the curcuit. But you can drive the 9V motor for quite a while with at least 12V, since all Lego® (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)
