Something I noticed while driving past the rail yard and while watching "Extreme Machines" or was it "Trains Unlimited" is a trick that both high-speed trains and freight trains use to reduce rolling resistance. The trick is to cut down the rolling (...) (26 years ago, 17-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

<snip every thing> After opening my first lego motor, I took a look at that rounded part. Just with my technical knowledge (didn't perform anytest on it) I defenetivly say it is a thermistor and it doesn't have to be heated by the motor, just the (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

John is more modest than he needs to be. The lift bridge is operational, just not for extended periods. :) It is a very graceful lift with LEGO motors basically crawling up the towers. We took pictures with it in the up and down positions at the (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)

A minor correction... (...) It was John Neal who thought of it first. I just jumped on the bandwagon. :-) I bet that kid is pretty enthused now. Way to go. As to shows, John Neal told me that they won an award voted on by the public for favorite (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)

Ok, I wasn't sure if anyone would like that price, I tried to keep it fair, I split the cost by 4 cars. I don't think that's unfair. You'd get all the stuff that went along with the car, if I took and split the price by piece and counted out the (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

In response to Larry's desire with Ben's second to see **2** LEGO train layouts at the same show, PNLTC did a small (last minute) show -- with a hasty display -- on March 7th at which there was indeed two separate groups each with its own display.

(...) I'd rather see them combined! Both layouts are modular. GMLTC has more modules under construction. What's needed are two relatively simple transition modules since GMLTC and PNLTC modules are built to different standards. Then, connect the (...)

Hmm... 11+11+27.50+3 = 52.50 (shipping included) S@H wants 66. That gives you the entire last car, including 6 train windows, 3 minifigs and a bunch of black slopes and misc parts from that car and the engine for 13.50. That's not making a LOT of (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Uh, if you are not looking to *make* any money off the sale of this set, you may want to drop your asking prices. BTW, why should I buy your motor for $27.50 when I can buy one from S@H anytime for that? (...) (26 years ago, 16-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
