  Train Posters, yes again
 
How dose a LEGO® club get train posters from ILTCO® without being a member? I have tried to have our club registered, but was told that we need a website and more of a train presents in our club. Well we have 4 active members and all have very (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Official KK and HP 2004 pictures
 
I'm pretty excited about the Harry Potter sets. They are great for town, train and castle. 4753 is simply spiffy: (URL) the trains: (URL) this standard red or the new darker red? I'm hoping standard red for the train windows. And don't forget that (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) XFUT to Trains... so that a subthread can get started, to talk about the new purple TRAIN windows in the Knight Bus (along with some other parts, I'm thinking there are enough parts there now to do a very creditable Orient Express-ish train if (...)

  Re: Attention rtlToronto members
 
(...) This is one of my creations. I think the grossest over use of motors I've ever come up with. :-) The panel is used to control switch positions on our 45 degree crossover. On this layout it was buried under Altenberg. Each switch was motorized (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: ILTCO Article - Making heavy-duty powered LEGO® Track Connections for Public Display Layouts
 
(...) I like Lewis' idea for two reasons: First, since he's only creating an extension of the normal LEGO wire system I can use standard track power connectors, thus elemenating the need for a hard wired piece of track. I know my luck and the wires (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: ILTCO Article - Making heavy-duty powered LEGO® Track Connections for Public Display Layouts
 
(...) Good article. I was working on a similar system for ngltc. But i did mine a little differently. My goals other than the obvious were Minimize the modification of lego parts. Keep the cost down. Compatibility. (ie we could use the same system (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  RE: ILTCO Article - Making heavy-duty powered LEGO® Track Connections for Public Display Layouts
 
Nice article! I was able to do something similar, except I brought the wire in from underneath the track through the slots between the ties. I also have a very nice soldering iron and lots of experience with getting connections like this to work (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Big Ben's trainwheels
 
(...) I thought about this for a while too... the best way is probably to sacrifice an old Technic axle, make a little aluminium bushing that slides right over the Technic axcle, put that into the chuck. Now put the wheels on the Technic axle and (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Big Ben's trainwheels
 
(...) Thank you. (...) Thank you for the kind words and feedback. The Big Ben Bricks 30.4 (mm) Flanged Driver has never been intended as a end-it-all solution for trains. When I started desiging these I quickly determined that a range of wheels is (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Attention rtlToronto members
 
Hey, I feel kinda weird asking this since I can usually reverse engineer anything I see on brickshelf but can someone please explain how this (2 URLs) works. I’m thinking about implementing something similar on a new yard and honestly I'm just (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

  Re: Big Ben's trainwheels
 
(...) This is the image I posted to the "Big Ben Brick's Beta" mailing list: (URL) diameter of the wheel remains the same, by removing the flange using the blue line as a guide allows the flange of the wheels on either side to actually go *behind* (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Big Ben's trainwheels
 
(...) Hmmm that might work... Guess I need to take 2 to work tomorrow and put them up on the lathe for some rearranging :D One thing : did you just cut something to make the diameter smaller or did you also make the wheels "thinner" to keep the (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Big Ben's trainwheels
 
(...) Have you seen these wheels after they've been "de-flanged"? For a 2-10-0, you could use four wheels 'as is', and 6 that had been their flanges removed. This would allow you to shorten the frame considerably. I know Ben is working on a way to (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Big Ben's trainwheels
 
Well I got my set a few days ago and have been playing with them to see how well they fit in. First of all, quality is very good! Color matches almost perfectly, the Technic axle fits perfect, the hole for the Technic pin is also perfect size, all (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Transparent Black Hinge Panel 2 x 4 x 3 & 1/3
 
(...) If it ever does get made in trans-black, it will be part #44572, but if it had been made prior to last year, it would have been part #2582. Escape From Privet Drive was the last set released using the old finger-hinge version. Oddly enough, (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: TRAIN RIDE
 
(...) Neato Steve! We @ SCLTC have a FEW layout loop video's, including being a minifig as an 8wide train passes pulling 1/2 the layout's rolling stock, but I don't think they have been posted yet so I'll post to the group begging for them to be (...)

  Re: Transparent Black Hinge Panel 2 x 4 x 3 & 1/3
 
The part number in question would be 44572 if this part existed in Trans Black, which it currently does not. It's a new part that is only available in a couple of sets at the current time. Hopefully, we'll see more available in a wider variety of (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)
