(...) My first preference would be 16 studs larger radius (which could then be set "parallel" to the smaller radius using the current turnout geometry). If they give us the 4.5V/12V turnout geometry, then we also want track with an 8 stud larger (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

(...) Okay, here is what I'd do if LEGO stopped the trains line. James, since you are already considering "impure" solutions, what would you say to simply adopting "O" scale track and trucks? As you know, I have been building 14 wide trains which (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)

Here are a few more pics of some of my 4 wides. Notice the track on which they sit-- it's gray ladders laid end to end. The ladders work great because they are *exactly* HO gauge (the trucks *are* HO). It was my son's idea, so I told him I'd post (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains) !!

Hello, this automated point sports 1000+ cycles (175 msec switch time) without a glitch. It has to be controlled by an RCX, since it uses a switch to check point position (if the point is stuck, it will retry two times and then go in alarm mode). (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

I think the problem is that the geometry is limited (...) (24 years ago, 24-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains)
