(...) Not using power leads works great. I came up with a couple solutions last year, including one that uses a Bic pen clip, is super cheap, and is very low profile. Also, you don't have to damage your track (!). (URL) More info at: (URL) Rick (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | All Lego Ack Circuit for LDCC

Hi All, One of the features of the LDCC firmware is the ability to read the configuration variables out of a DCC decoder installed in a train motor. In order to do this, you need to connect a small circuit consisting of one or two resistors from the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I was thinking about setting up my second LEGO switching layout, with this one based on a prototypical track layout which features what amounts to a reverse loop. The loop area serves several industries and the lead into the loop goes to a yard, (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Have you tried not using the power leads at all? I haven't tried it, but it would seem that if you cut a 'normal' 9volt wire, split the end and strip a short section of wire -- you could pry up the metal part of a rail enough to slip the wire (...)

Hej Niels, I only just began creating parts myself, but here's my thoughts. The origin between the studs sounds oki, that'd make snapping it to the grid much easier. On what side the buffer is, is not that important I think. Perhaps there is some (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)
