  Re: More ramblings about the train contest
 
(...) I don't see how this would apply to Larry or anyone else who is already selling their designs (ie, the Guild of Bricksmiths), because the answer to a) above is obviously yes if you're already doing so, and the answer to b) good to excllent, (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: More ramblings about the train contest
 
(...) If LEGO was looking to slurp designs, they wouldn't run a contest for single cars. They'd go for entire trains. TLC put in the verbiage about assigning copyright, so they wouldn't have any entanglements over (a) using the winning entry in (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: SuperTrain 2001 layout - Mountain Switching
 
I cut some of my switches with very satisfying result. I have pictures and will scan them one of these days. Eric (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains)

(...) Or that TLC has not decided to target sets at the adult train collector market... 4561 is a good set for the target market it's targeted to, which is the same market (or maybe SLIGHTLY advanced) that Town Jr. is targeted to. ++Lar (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: SuperTrain 2001 layout - Switching Yard
 
(...) Yup. A 60' layout is going to look pretty empty with only 1 train. I like (John's?) suggestion for doing 2 loops. (...) Cool. The more stuff we've got, the better. (...) I've got 13 of the longest connector, and a smattering of the smallest 2 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains)

Michel Magnan wrote in message ... (...) To get more trains moving at once, we would have to cut out some of the long sidings in the center to make room for the second loop. IMO, not a problem.

SRC wrote in message ... (...) Without messing with polarity switching, a simple solution would be to add an extra main line to the center section for a total of four lines. This way, you can have two loops running the full length of the layout. [1] (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: LEGO Trains on trial?

  Re: min/max distances for track wiring
 
(...) Or, just electrically isolate the two sections, so each transformer is powering its own section of track. The easiest way is to leave a 1 stud gap between two lengths of straight track, and use a 4x8 plate to tie (no pun intended!) the tracks (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
