  12v motor in 9v trains - how?
 
Hi, I wondered how, or even if, people have put 12v motors into 9v trains. The motors themselves are almost identical in build but the 9v motors have those side pieces and the wheels are slightly bigger - very noticeable when you put a 12v plain (...) (22 years ago, 31-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Origin of these printed bricks?
 
(...) Hi Bif, since Germany has probably been a much bigger market for toys trains, the Hamburg, Genover + Basel have for sure been more 'often' sold than the UK-version (but they are still really hard to find nowadays and I saw the six of them (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

And, 4511 has some strange lights on the front of the engine. The (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: 100-Ton Hopper Cars
 
Thanks Stefan, I tinkered around with making the wheels larger but then they interfered with the dumping bays. Adding a spring to the wheels also made them look much larger and out of proportion with the rest of the car especially when I pushed the (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
