(...) That would work although it would alow for the whole top to spin around. Those half pegs dont have much of a friction hold. Dave www.GPLR.org (20 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thats a great part, I hadnt thought about using that. Although you would have to get creative at the top. You would have to invert the whole top section. Dave www.GPLR.org (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

Great to hear about the successful test. The dynamic nature of trains is often overlooked. Ocationally there are great looking MOCs posted but don't always run well in the real world; backwards thru points and the like. Your close coupling design (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Looks very good. I was about to add the following: Too bad LEGO hasn't made (URL) in brown. But LEGO has in the Destroyer Droid. It wouldn't solve the scale issue (although, I don't think that there is one), but the pole would be smooth. Chris (20 years ago, 20-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Sure thing - you should glue it back on to take advantage of the full functionality, but it's not critical per se. I've used superglue on a couple of mine, when some used motors' clips split away from the main body of the motor. That (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Sweet! Now I have an excuse to pick up some 4855s on discount. I have some badly squeaking wheels on my MOWs that cause much cringing at train shows. Thanks for the tip, Rick. Ed (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

My first foray into Space (URL) all I have to do is locate all the parts to build it. (Well its a train, and uses HiTech control units, and a few Technic parts, so the cross-postings seem vaguely relevant) William (20 years ago, 20-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

The SPLTC has used something similar in the past (URL) (located along the lower edge of the picture - ours were without the transformer, which is a nice touch BTW) and the scale looked fine. Ray SPLTC www.SPLTC.org (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Why don't we take a poll? We could call it a "pole poll"! I think that real poles tend to be about the size of a person's head, and thus 1x1 rounds are a bit too small and 2x2 rounds a bit too big, and minifig heads a bit too wavy (it waves in (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
