(...) Hmm, does this mean the new motor could drive BBB wheels directly? That would be way cool for steam designers. Frank (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2006)

(...) If you have an rail-powered train running constantly on each track and augment the layout by manually running an IR train on each track as well, then a set of batteries will easily get you through a day at most shows. Use rechargeable (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I've enough 9v stuff to keep me going for a bit but I take your point regarding the IR trains - difficult but not impossible in 7-wide. I also look on 7-wide as a wide 6-wide. I've seen some very convincing MOC examples and note that you can (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi Jon, Thanks for your comments. I agree about smaller models being more fun. I love having to find ways around problems that would be so simple to solve in eight-wide or larger.

Six hours? Seems a rather horrid endurance to me, certainly in terms of shows... But if the IR can be used with the metal motors, that oughta be fairly interesting. Though no additional wires, soo.... Hm. I want to get my hands on one of these (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Looks great, Tim. I think the smaller models require more clever bits to be convincing such as the use of the 1x6 arches. 7-wide is beginning to grow on me too! Jon (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi all, I was a little bored this morning so I did up a CAD for the new train crane. I left off the bars in the middle since I couldn't get a decent look at them and they seemed to represent junk anyway so I figured people could do their own. Also (...)
