 | | Re: Silly train voltage question...
|
| I've tried some of the 12V accesories with a 9V regulator, and most work OK--the lights certainly did. I think the exception was the motorized stuff (the automatic crossing, 7866); only one of the gates would work as I recall. Also, I don't think (...) (25 years ago, 26-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

I heard him say that they were introducing a new "play train" line, that would be in addition to the existing 9V and Duplo train lines. (...) (19 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | Re: Remote switching points

| It really is a shame that Lego no longer makes all the nifty automated light, switch and crossing components. I first saw these in the 1980 European catalog ((URL) , which I still have :). My mom brought it over from a trip to Germany. I was stunned (...) (25 years ago, 27-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: Looking for track
|
| Welcome to the world of LEGO trains, Jack{:^D As far as acquiring track, I think you'll find that it's best to just suck it up and order from S@H. Auctions including track aren't very common, and even then it is folk who are looking to unload (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Even if it was $0.20 by the time it is productized it is maybe $1.00. Multiply this by the quantity sold and you just save ~$500,000 (whatever the quantity is). When designing computer mother boards there will be large debates over $0.05 BOM (bill (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The real 4449 is a 4-8- 4 steam engine with Southern Pacific 'Daylight' colors. I think they first ran (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: Why Did Lego Switch to 9V?
|
| (...) K. I'll add what I know about it here. Lego went towards 9V starting with the light and sound modules. (I think they were introduced in 1987 or 8). The trains (european) had push, 4.5V battery, and 12 volt controls available, whereas here we (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

The weights are to make sure the electrodes will stay together. If the train was too light, they may not touch, (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains)
