 | | MOC BR03 steam engine totally rebuild
|
|
My BR03 steam engine was not running savely over points and it was too fat. So I started to rebuild it yesterday. Now it's no longer 7-wide, but standard 6-wide and with the new tricky wheel suspension it runs over all kind of track. Pictures are (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

I am looking for a 12 V electromotor (Oder Nr. 702) for a lego train bought in the 70th or for a 4.5 V battery motor (Order Nr. 103) for the same train. Who can help me? (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

Wow, great stuff. I liked everything, but I also must add that I LOVED your diner. Every once and a while when I see a model I exclaim "I wish I had thought of that!" So, now I'll just have to be inspired by it. I am definately going to build one. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

Thank you, James. Your station was obviously an influence on mine and when I add to the interior, I am sure the similarities will be more obvious. In fact, I was about 80% done with a replica of your station when I decided that I was more into (...) (24 years ago, 9-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

Wonderful pictures. I was especially attracted to the incredibly large white and glass train station! (URL) certainly dwarfs my station of a similar design. Amazing piece count of pieces that I consider somewhat "rare". I hope I catch future (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us.baylug)

Great work, it really looks nice. If you find that it is too noisy, you might look into the cork subroadbed that is advertized in the model railroading magazines. I am pretty sure there is one 6 inches wide. Michel Magnan (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.fun.crafts)

Yes, I am concerned that the slack action could result in a high failure rate, especially if there is not a strong structure at the end of the car to help keep the coupler attached to the car. Thanks for the kudos. The design occurred to me when I (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
