This morning I posted some pictures of some rolling stock I have built over the last couple of days. Two are MOCs, one is a LEGO model in a different color. Picture quality is not the best (I guess one can't expect much from a $100 digital camera). (...) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, I have it tested with the 9V and the 12V system include the rail-switches. Only the middle part must be higher than the original from the bottom, because it must go over the high parts on the switches. Arne (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.trains)
