|
|
Hello, I am new to the trains section of Lugnet. I recently bought some second hand train stuf from the seventies (blue track era) including some trainbases with wheels on metal axles and a blue and red magnet. Some have the magnets broken off or (...) (21 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nicely done, and very faithful to the prototype. I am really going to study your techniques of utilizing multiple drivers, because there are some steam trains that I want to model. (standing on the shoulders of giants:-) (...) It is indeed a (...) (21 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) True, but it's not hard to make up two studs on the first curve that you happen to get to. (or in this case, one each, if that's easier) So for the LEGO purist, this is a better approach. (21 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

(...) Our club's first lifting bridge (by David Wegmuller) took that approach. The trouble is that it screws up the entire layout because everything is off by 2 studs. For David's second version, he had to modify the ends of the track connectors so (...) (21 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)

Hi all, For those of all who didn't already ordered the Engine Shed, please do. I haven't had so much fun building a Lego Model since the yellow trainstation or the harbour with container-crane.

Ben, Once again you've excelled yourself! I particularly like the hopper wagons, they really do capture the look of the German prototype - its amazing how much difference a few details can make, a real improvement on the standard blue hopper. Is the (...) (21 years ago, 14-May-03, to lugnet.trains)
