    Working Hopper

    I actually used that original, side gear dumper, in a test automated layout. That has since been deleted. The side is ok but it really does not look too much like a real car. This looks a lot better. Ed
  2. Check out 4DBrix for , IMHO, a much better and cheaper alternative.
  3. 3679 I'm guessing. Top of a turntable - never seen it used alone before.

    That's great! Could you post a couple of pictures of the details? Or plans? I can't quite make out the gearing under the hopper. Thanks a lot. Ed

    Lego sets inventory aggregator

    Basebrick will do this
  7. TcmO Check out Control all your Powered Up & Power Function (SBrick) devices with a single software They have expanded it to the new system and sbrick
  8. Loc24, Looks like what I need. Is there any documentation or instructions? I downloaded the zip file but could not find any. Thanks for your effort, Ed PS What about my question about a pc with bluetooth dongle - will it work?
  9. Newbee jumping in here I believe I scanned many of the posts but I'm not sure of one basic thing-- Can this app control both the sbrick and the control+ hubs? If so, this sounds like a wonderful tool to operate an entire diorama with one program. If so, one more question - can it work on a laptop with a bluetooth dongle? Thanx, Ed
  10. Is anyone working on an app or program (+dongle) that would control both? Scratch would be nice - but anything. They are both bluetooth, so shouldn't this be possible?

  12. Thanks! I'm building a large industrial model (Blast furnace, Hewlett unloader, coke plant, etc., and wanted something yo place in the "under Construction " area. This will work perfectly.

    Thanks for the pictures. I have an industrial rail that is remotely controlled (in real world also) and this will be a nice addition. Mine has the battery vertical and this will chop a few bricks off the height.
  14. I'm not sure, but does this not happen every year?

    TLG acquires Bricklink

    Woodworker makes wooden toys and sells them to make money for his family. People like and buy them. Plastics come along. Family decides to try plastic. Make toys. People buy. Family incorporates and gets bigger. Someone recognizes that AFOLs and resale parts market is huge. Starts niche company. Family buys niche competitor. Gets rid of non family products. Family corporation grows. Where in that timeline / natural progression does it say that TLG has to cater to people who modify their parts for profit, or corner the market and jack up prices, or do anything else that does not help the Family Owned Business. Not a rant, but just the real world. I designed software and copy-write protected it. Filled a niche a major corporation had not addressed. They did and my product never sold. Such is Life. Ed
