(...) Well we all copy nice ideas from each other (some even without even remembering we saw it somewhere), anyway that's the idea behind Lugnet (...) What do you mean one day? If you hadn't mentioned that it was your first MOC I'm sure nobody would (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

(...) I think in order to maintain the correct distance between parallel tracks in layouts constructed with regular LEGO track pieces, anyone making these would have to use the same spacing. I think it allows these custom type pieces to be more (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Just to forestall any questions... In which Matt asked my opinion, and I gave it, as just another user, nothing more. I think what was outlined is correct but it IS a fuzzy area. I just hope if these ever go up again I hear about it, or (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

In lugnet.trains, Jeff Christner writes: <snip> (...) I'd say the $80 was quite reasonable, and the lack of response should not be read as a lack of interest. Probably most of the train folk are like me, and don't often (or ever) check (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Amusingly, your custom switch tracks appear to have the exact same spacing as the ones that John posted at the beginning of this thread. He appears to have dealt with the fragility problem by bridging the split with a 4x6 plate. Granted, it's (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Horst, I have, inspired by John Neal of whom you've already heard. I've only built the one boxcar though, shown here; (URL) since bought a stick of track for it to sit on, and replaced the grey 1x8's with brown. It's also spent a good chunk (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hello Horst, As John Gerlach mentioned, I have experimented with larger scales of trains. My first venture was the 14 wides, which I calculated to be about 1:29 scale. I used G scale trucks and track for them, but I only built a few and never (...) (21 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | Lego Trains in larger gauge?
|
|
Hello, has anyone ever tried to build a train that has a larger gauge than the usual L-scale (be it 6, 8, or even more studs wide)? Obviously, such trains could not run on LEGO track, nor use standard LEGO train motors and wheel sets ... Greetings (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

Posting this reply since I just noticed there was a post in addition to an e-mail reply. Reminder to folks, please don't both reply by post and by e-mail since it causes such double answering as this. (...) I purchased them (two). Check out this (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

From how I understand auctions and their acceptance here (based on recent converstations with Larry P) it would be permissible to post something like this here in lugnet.trains: "I just invented a cool switch, here are the pics, bla, bla, bla... I (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Wow, I didn't even notice that, cool. (...) I did post about it in market.auction, but the only people who contacted me about the track did so after the auction ended. I sort of wanted to get a base price for what people were willing to pay (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I solved the unreliable light sensor problem [1], although my version still sticks out two studs from the tracks on one side, and five out on the other. Also there's an extra wire, due to shining a light bulb at the sensor. But we just ran a (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) I would also have bid, had I known about these. Unfortunately, I don't check market.auction very regularly. Would it have been permissible (TOS-wise) to say in .trains, "I just built these new custom switches. Also, I'll be auctioning them (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yeah, I am after an all-Lego solution; not just for purity reasons, but I'd be too worried about frying the RCX with my less-than-impressive electornics skills. Besides, given that my whole layout seems to be elevated 18 bricks high, it's (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)
