(...) Dear Jeroen, all the points you have mentioned are true. We UTB builders have beta tested the LDD and came up with nearly all these wishes as well... (I myself asked basically for LDraw-export/import). In the end I could live with using LDD (...) (17 years ago, 6-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd)

(...) Cool all LEGO solution to dodgems. I'm wondering if whacking a couple of soccer balls in the hull (rather than the wheels) might not make for crazier dodgem action. Did you try this at any point? Tim (17 years ago, 6-Apr-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

Wasn't sure where Dodgem cars should be posted, so I just picked my two favourite newsgroups. After 2 years of Ebay trawling I managed to pickup some technic chain, bought more than I needed in fact. With the left overs I built this dodgem car (...) (17 years ago, 6-Apr-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains) !

Hi, Last Saterday it arrived, my 10183. It is an awesome set with loads of parts and possibilities. But after building the crocodile (building instructions included in the box), we (my daughter, son and I) wanted to build one (or two) of the other (...)

(...) I am glad to see that someone has perfected the idea of using the old 12 volt track with the new R/C trains. I asked some of the train expert early on and was told it would not work. I am glad that I held onto the old 12V gray track and some (...) (17 years ago, 6-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) SNIPED (...) It looks like 2 pair of jumper plates on the RC track and a pair of 1x2 plates on the old track would be even more rigid. Mat Clayson (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) No problem, glad it worked. A smaller option to help secure the rails would be to move the jumper plate to the bley rails, and replace the 1x1 plate with a 1x2, attaching it to the blue rails. You should be able to use a 1x4 plate or tile to (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here is the construction: (3 URLs) However, when since (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Looks pretty good. Have you tried using a jumper plate? I don't know exactly how far apart the blue and bley rails are, but it looks to be almost a half-stud. Could you put a jumper plate on the 2x8s holding the blue rails on, a 1x1 plate on (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi All, The picture below shows my attempt to connect RC-train rails and 1970's blue rails. The RC train can easily traverse the gap in the rails when it is going straight (at least one straight segment on each side of the gap). When it is going (...) (17 years ago, 5-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
