Hi Rob,
I've converted some LGB and Bachman G scale wheels for use on Lego tracks.
You can see some pictures here:
- This is an industrial locmotive in 1:20 scale (Technic figure scale, 30
inch gauge): http://www.wegmuller.org/lego/technic/index.html
- This is an experiment, a solar powered locmotive:
http://www.wegmuller.org/lego/idea/index.html
As you can see on these pictures, I haven't had time to build a power pick
up yet... Note that both solar powered and "extension cord" powered
locomotives do exist in real life...
I'm also working on converting the old 4.5V train motor to 9V. I've already
turned one brass replica of the old train wheel (I still have to make three
more). I then plan to modify one motor block to pickup power and then
connect two motors in series so they'll run happily at 9V. I'll publish some
pictures whenever I get some spare time :-)
Greetings,
David

| Are there any places online to get wheels like these Bachmann wheelsets? Are they the same size diameter as a Lego train wheel? Do you have part numbers? Would I be able to fit them into the same truck as regular train wheels? "David Wegmuller" (...) (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)
