		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
(...) Sometimes my english, plays against me..... My idea was to use the metallic wheels of the motor in a standard boggie, for testing purposes, if this works, the following step was to make a copy of the wheels with a lathe, but Larry and Dean (...) (21 years ago, 10-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Getting Started With LEGO Trains - it's almost here!
After many months of hard work and waiting, my new book "Getting Started With LEGO Trains" is almost here! As we speak, the bulk of the books are on a ship on its way to San Francisco, and should arrive any time. I'll follow-up with a final release (...)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
You are right they are different. What I will do is to try and get someone to make a collar (like a ring) to put over the wheel in order to adjust it.The collar should be thin and of a conductive metal. Tomorrow I´ll have more news....keep you (...) (21 years ago, 10-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
(...) There are wifi stuff already out. G scale commonly uses radio control. The main issue is, of course, the battery... It's a pain in the butt... DCC works very well. It seems able to buffer a small amount of power to reduce brownouts by bad (...) (21 years ago, 10-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
Well, I would like to test, maybe the next weekend, the metal wheels of the motor box in the standard boggie, and install something to make contact with the wheels to send energy to the car, if that idea works, I ask if someone can make the metal (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) If you ar going to "sacrifice" a motor for the wheels, why not use its power pickups. Lester (21 years ago, 10-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
(...) <snip> (...) I've thought about this and don't see any long term potential. Power pickup from tracks is one of the most challenging aspects of the model railroading. The lego solution is one of the best I've seen, LGB actually runs contacts on (...) (21 years ago, 10-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
Dean I'was thinking the same idea this weekend... I'm imagining several possibilities, that are: Motorless box (Ben's solutions).. (too expensive for a passanger car) Metal wheel in standard boggies,what you mentioned.. but we need to work in detail (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		RE: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
(...) If you modify the motor to pass the rail signals through to the power port on the top of the motor, can't you just use standard LEGO wires and connectors between the loco and the cars? Ralph (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
(...) Consider also conductive paint on plastic wheels. It may not be a good permanent solution but would allow for experimentation before commissioning tooling to create metal wheels. (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
(...) They are different and I'm sure you'd have to do some modding and remove the gear bit. It might work. The hard part would be making a brush that rubs on the wheel. But if it worked you could do the complete power pickup in one wheelset. And (...) (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: LEGOFan.net - central community run hub for all areas of the LEGO community.

Just don't let Jake force you to focus on Trains and hog up all the space for that theme! ;o) I'd like to see something that has real news, focus on current and upcoming product and the good product history. We also need (...) (21 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, lugnet.publish, lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)

		Re: Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...

		Idea for a track power pickup for non motored trains...
I've been racking my brain trying to think of an easy way to get power from the track to a non motored car. For things like lights or movements etc. I think I have something that might work. If we take two standard wheels sets and replace one wheel (...) (21 years ago, 8-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: control train using rcx
