 | | Re: SNVT Build-a-Train Contest

| The contest is a good idea and I agree that this sort of thing is one of the best concrete things we can do to promote the continuance of 9V trains. Thanks for setting it up. One comment on the rules/guidelines: Clarity of the instructions - not (...) (18 years ago, 25-May-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | Re: Converting an Emerald Night to run on 9 volt track

| (...) Basically, a 9V train motor doesn't fit this engine very well, in terms of both the motor's size and look. I've thought about using a 9V motor, too, and personally I'd use it as one of the trucks on a passenger car, as close to the engine as (...) (15 years ago, 16-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains)

Like you, I've looked at the 8866 and figured it would be of little use to me. But I (...) (15 years ago, 30-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I've tested the Emerald Night carriage with an 8866 motor and found that the (...) (15 years ago, 27-Nov-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
