dundarach Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Not posted for a while, however I'm still building. The Lego room has gone to become a bedroom, however my son is now 4 and building with me. A few of my latest mocs using the old 4.5v bricks. The 0-4-0 (not puffing billy) uses a power functions receiver to control it via RC. Hope you like them :) Edited September 6, 2016 by dundarach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted September 6, 2016 Looking very nice, I love the puffing billy! However, just so you know, you might want to resize your pictures.... The site guidelines say around 800 x 600 is normally good. Not trying to mini-mod, just trying to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxSupercars Posted September 6, 2016 1024x768 is the max allowed image resolution as I know... Max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted September 6, 2016 Nice. Looks good on blue rails too. 800x600 is preferred, given there are folks with slow Internet connections or data plan caps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 6, 2016 It's nice to see old and new lego so well arranged together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted September 7, 2016 That's looking nice. The mechanism is a great idea and worsk really well. Did you try larger technic levers as well? And now I wonder if you could connect to the top wheel completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dundarach Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks for the feedback, its nice to have my 4 year olds track connected to the old blue 4.5v. I've 3d printed an adapter and will shortly be able to run both old and new locos on both types of track and some blue 12v and 9v too for fun. I'm going to keep working on getting the levers to operate the wheels that would be great, however the 4.5v motor doesn't have a massive amount of torque so the mechanism needs to be really free moving, otherwise the motor stalls.
