(URL) Here is my take on a Burlington Northern GP9. The cab was the result of trying to reverse engineer Benn Coifman's five-wide cab on his (URL) Northern Pacific GP9>. Eventually I gave up on trying to duplicate his design and came up with my (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) What I'd like to know about this set-up is how it copes with going over points. I've taken track power up into a mechanism through the pivot-point of a bogey, but I haven't powered a truck down through the pivot point like this. I can see that (...)

(...) Bit of a blast from the past, but I kinda didn't get around to doing any of this and forgot all about it until (URL) Cale's Y6b> put it back in my mind. I'd not thought of building a 9-wide before, but it certainly gives the loco a "muscular" (...) (17 years ago, 20-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I saw that one during a random scrounge through Brickshelf, but I thought it was a mock-up, but now I see it is a scratch built motor. (17 years ago, 20-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains)

Hello people, I got a bit tired of compiling and uploading programs to a second RCX every time I need to make a small change (ok, adding the possibility to do adjustments with the remote control helps a bit), so I decided to make a win-program that (...)

(...) Hi, On the subject, be sure to check Steve Barile's RailBricks #2 article about the PFS train. (page 6-7) - (URL) been able to point this at Jean-Marc but that's (AFAIK) an original idea by Steve. Lot of friction on the rails can be a goal. (...)

(...) Well, bear in mind I'm no train expert myself - and that this setup was thrown together a bit hastily; in particular, one gear train was too loose and would do an horrible noise when tortured. That said, I used it to pull a few of Ludo Soete's (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
