That's pretty darn cool James! I see you've picked up a few of those "Green Service Packs". ;-) You certainly have put them to good use! BTW: I got my 4559's in the mail Friday.

You go boy! That has got to be the uglyest train I have ever seen in my life ;D I bet that it could make it thru a Ben Fleskes Robostness course. Over jumps, off the edge of tables, eveb the BF "sqeeze it til it snaps" test! How about a loop the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) How about an action sequence of the train bursting through a wall of Jar-Jars or something? Oh, I noticed the operator has two control levers in the cockpit. It seems to me a speed hog like this thing would have an accelerator pedal and (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) You know I got inspired at the Saturday meeting, after running a few of those trains a bit faster they could handle I wanted to make one that could handle the abuse. So I built the Green Machine that evening. But how am I going to control the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
