 | | Roundy Roundy
|
| Most people and groups seem to go for 'roundy roundy' track plans. For exhibitions this makes sense as trains can be kept moving without too much effort. However most people who have put trackplans or pics of their home layouts on Brickshelf also (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jul-04, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: Reversing Loop without Insulated Tracks

| (...) Many of us are more interested in the trains running (remember that the name of the group, after all, is not lugnet.electrical). The electrical stuff is just a way to get trains to do their thing, in my view and hence, less interesting. Others (...) (20 years ago, 11-Aug-04, to lugnet.trains)

| | 6 wheeled 9v motor

| I've been woring on an EMD SD-40 eginine. And I wanted to have 6 wheeled motor trucks. But I also wanted it to be able to negotiate turns and switches. So I chopped up a 9v wheel set, modified the side plates for a 9v motor. (URL) I removed the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Oct-04, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.trains)

I did some searching for it on google, and most e-tailers selling LEGO don't (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)
