(...) The LEGO power supplies all produce AC current, while most interchangable power supplies that you'll find produce DC current. I know this can overload and burn out the bridge rectifiers on the RCX 1.0, but I don't know if it'll be problematic (...) (17 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well... maybe. By that I mean that the LEGO train transformer (as well as the RCX and NXT), are supposed to be supplied with 9-12 V *AC* current. Most little wal transformers you see supply *DC* voltage. Note that a lot of folks have used DC (...) (17 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

If you have a defective 12v train motor (modern kind, as in 7740 or 7750), I'd like to buy it. Send me an e-mail if you have one to offer. Thanks! (17 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains)

(...) It is indeed! It's looking great. I used a very similar technique for a German BR-52 locomotive. Where you used 1-stud width of tile I used two, so my boiler came out to be 6-wide.
