(...) I believe the instructions in the set include how to motorize it. So if you have one copy around that you can open up and build, you could then show people the instructions. Instruction scans won't be on BrickShelf until after the set is long (...) (21 years ago, 5-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

First Question. Why does my Track Designer automatically place elevations under successive curves in my program? I have to reset elevations everytime I add curves to any layout. Next question. Where in the heCK is the source for this program? Geez, (...) (21 years ago, 4-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yep. I actually use this in MTW-1003 because I want the wobble this gives you (it's a bit taller of a pin than a normal bogie plate's pin which fits into two plates worth of space, this is a full brick thick or 2.5 plates) but the flexibility (...)

Instead of a bogie plate you can always use a Tile, Modified 2 x 2 with Pin [LDrawPart 2460:0] This gives you more flexibility with how you attache beams etc. you alos don't have to have the pivot poit in the centre of the bogie. Tim (21 years ago, 1-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Some silicon grease should do the trick and it doesn't damage the ABS. I use it sometimes on bogie pins with good results. Any decent hardware shop has it. Also, it's almost colorless so it won't look bad. (21 years ago, 30-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains)
