Hi, The local library invited me to do a LEGO display (their display cabinets will be empty while waiting for the next exhibition material and they asked me do fill them in the meantime). More details about the display: I have access to two glass (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) I'll sit down and Ldraw some of it, but not right now...I just don't have all that much time. It uses a small Pnumatic cylinder mounted in the car, driving down through a 2R curve (the 2x2 macaroni bricks, stacked) pivot point, to the Technic (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Na, all I need is a hole in the ground, with a house covering it :). I used to run the trains downhill at - throttle settings (in reverse), but the limit of traction could be reached with heavy trains. The good thing was that the grade was (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Sounds like you need some dynamic breaks. I assume you kill the power on the downhill, but I was just wondering, what if the uphill and downhill parts of the track were separate from the mainline, and a resister was attached across the rails; (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Very impressive. How much room do you have between one layer of the spiral and the next? I've been toying with multi-layer layouts and I'm not yet positive just how much room to leave between layers. Also.. how long are you going to leave that (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
