(...) Been there, done that. An artic was the very first thing I tried. I can't find the pics anymore but it was pretty fragile. It used 2x2 turntables for the pivots. I did a 5 unit double stack just before I left CO. See: (URL) and go to the (...) (26 years ago, 17-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

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)

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.
