(...) The motors are not symmetrical - if they're on the 'wrong' way they hang up on the stairs. It's a *very* close fit! And I have no idea if it will handle the grades that the GMLTC is planning for our next layout... JohnG, GMLTC (24 years ago, 15-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)

Today a couple of AFOLs met in Muelheim. It was great to meet all those people you only know by email and LUGNET postings!

I have a 12v lego train system: train, track, switches, and controller. I got them as a kid in Germany. Is there any way to make this system work in the American electronic system? I'm not an electronic guru, but Radio Shack doesn't seem to have a (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
