Hi all! I am working on a new train, and I am blocked with the bogie design. It is a standard small bogie 6x4, but I do not use a normal coupler, as I do not want the buffers, secondly, the coupler must a bit away from bogie it self, something like (...) (21 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

I'm wondering...... Would it be possible to pull the metal wheels from a dead 9V train motor, and fit them into a standard wheelset frame, and convert it into a power pickup? Seems to me it should be possible, it's just how much work it would be. (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)

First lesson-- the DCC accessory block needs an actual motor attached to the motor output in order for the RCX LDCC to detect and program the DCC chip in the accessory brick. This I did not know.
