(...) Larry, thanks for the pointers. I just got trains for the first time this December and this coupled with talking to Jim Rosikiewicz about gearing problems for his turntable at the last GardenSLUG meeting has had me thinking about how to do (...)

(...) It's complex but not undoable. Several people/orgs have done it. The "old" (1) "main" (2) GMLTC layout had a turntable as well. Mindstorms actuated/animated.

(...) But why would Lego create a new mold, to continue making a part that worked perfectly well as it was? The change prevents the piece from being backwards-compatible with 4.5v track, and doesn't seem to offer any advantages in structural (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

Today, I was looking at a 6761 with the thought of parting a few out. That set contains two parts that I would describe as a 1 x 16 tile with a raised serated edge lengthwise on the top. Examination of the bottom shows a p/n of 3228. Partsref tells (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

This is absolutely stunning!! Not just the layout, but the pictures too. How on earth did you get your photo's to look so damn good? Most look like raytrace (And that's meant as a compliment here!). I'd love to see more pics of the turntable. Even (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
