(...) Hi all! Before anybody trys to convert his 9V train motors, I have to jump in and warn that these 9V motors are really to weak to "pull a fish from a plate" (as we say here). If one exchanges the rubber bands of the wheels against the rubber (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

I noticed the pictures on brickshelf a few days ago and recoqnised it immidiately; you have got the (special) design of it very well. I think that this one is hardly possible to build 8 (or less) wide, so this makes it reasonable to make it 10 wide, (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

As you say this is hardly possible. We did that in 2001 (www.hot.ee/sonnich/lego/ - under galleries you will find the Baltic Train Event), and found it hard (impossible) with curved rails. We used straight rail for a "border" station between the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

While I can't say I like those particular diesels, you definitely got the look of them down. The SNOT work on the model as well is awesome and the way you modeled the roof especially is really sweet. I look forward to seeing pics of it with the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

Hi again! After nearly finishing the complete renewing (decorating is not the right word here ;-)) of my dining room I found some time for modelling a new MOC. This BR 232 from the german railway (Deutsche Bahn) was formerly used in the GDR. It was (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | Working LEGO Clock Tower

Inspired by the works of Leo Dorst and Eric Harshbarger, I set out to build a working clock mechanism in a form factor that could be displayed on a train layout. The result of this two-week effort is my LEGO Clock Tower, which made its debut on (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug) !!

I've also been considering (as I believe many people have), the ways in which 12V and 9V trains might run together. Slotting the 12V conductor rails into 9V track seems the most obvious solution, but there are two major problems; it doesn't work for (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | 12V and 9V on same track footprint
|

I am doing some experimenting with running 12V rails inside 9V rails so I can run 9V and 12V on the same track. Obviously the switches don't work, but I always though the curves and straights would - but I find that there are ridges across the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Wouldn't converting the 9V motor as Ben Beneke described it have been easier? (URL) has all the details and seems a lot easier and safer. Good luck! (22 years ago, 31-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
