(...) 1000 is definitely way too much, at this point. I think GMLTC typically looked for some amount that would cover the expenses (gas, budget lodging if it was a long way away from MSP, etc.)... 100 seems reasonable, maybe a bit more.

How much is a reasonable amount? $100 $1000? It would be nice if we looked more formal with skirt, large banner sign, maybe roped off build area. Use fee to buy skirt, etc? Mark (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.trains.org)

It came from a Universal Set from the 70's. I had one in the 404, I think, but I am going from memory. I believe that there may have been another set with the motor in yellow, but I don't know which one that would be. Mike Peter Simpson (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

Very nice design. No springs either! I will definitely try it. The slack action, as you mentioned, is a concern, but kudos to the design that allows you to push and still have the coupler pivot. "Christopher Masi" <cmasi@cmasi.chem.tulane.edu> wrote (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

This came up a couple of days ago, but I finally came up with a design for a coupler that (1) is not connected to the trucks, (2) pivots to allow the cars to negotiate the curves, (3) centers itself when the car is being pushed, and (4) pivots to (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
