    NS 345 Battery Powered

    Very nice, it is generally refered to as "Sik" (goatie in Dutch). They were originally in DkGreen, but later NS painted them Yellow. https://miljoenenlijn.nl/artikel/loc-248-08-sik/ There are variants including the ones having a crane: https://www.spoorwegmuseum.nl/en/ontdek/de-collectie/our-trains/ns-362-sik/ B.t.w. you could use e.g. enamel wire to also power the top head-light: if moving in a forward direction it should have white lights in a triangle. It should also have a red flash light on top (which used to be blue when they were delivered from factory).

    DIY LED-light-box for signal set 7860

    Nice work! B.t.w. I have used a tiny microcontroller for it, that makes for even more possibilities.
  3. Really nice work! Once I have my trains back I'll certainly try it. Still in storage as our building expansion is still being postponed...

    Help with lego coding

    I reversed you penalty as it was @Lego Tom who brought you to it. Next time please report your topic so we can just move it instead of opening a new one. Apart from that: thanks for joining Eurobricks and happy coding.

    My Own Orient Express - Addition

    Nice one @Haddock51. Great work.
  7. It seems that they have found the issue and are working on a permanent solution (see Bricklink forum). I deleted and redownloaded both versions and while the normal version still is ignoring all mouse activity, the Early Access version automatically downloaded updated parts etc and is working for me (macOS Sanoma 14.2.1 (23C71), MBP M3 Max). I did not use it a lot yet so don't know how stable it is but I could load the project I'm working on which is quite a large modular building.
  8. Thank you for joining EB and welcome to Train Tech. It is basically the same idea so I merged the two topics. The 9V montor picks up the power via the wheels. The 12V motor has those 'springed' pickups that connect in a flexible way to the additional middle track of course. See here a possible way to do it:
  9. Thanks for the great review @MKJoshA, of course we still miss the one's from @WhiteFang but you do a pretty decent job as well :) B.t.w.:

    Moersk Train

    That is also the main reason it is not in Train Tech anymore :) (I didn't move it b.t.w. but it was a good decision). @idlemarvel have you ever seen prices of 12V train stickers? That is why I used to reproduce them. But the problem is more that such a sellers are blatantly copying everything from LEGO, not as a way to extend or improve LEGO but basically to undermine it.
  11. Still a problem indeed. Have still one system on 14.0 but it is very very inconvenient. Hope Apple and Unity will fix it (e.g. in Sanoma 14.3) but there seems to be a workaround now: A clean install of the latest Studio "Early Access Changelog Version 2.23.12_1 (Dec 20, 2023)" with MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 and running it in Full Screen mode seems to work without any input issues.

    LEGO Trains 2024

    Thanks! Done. I also unpinned 2023! Hope to get some great trains in 2024 but as always with LEGO we need to wait patiently.
