Very nice. For shunters the Powered Up brick is way too large. I was trying to fit one in a retro 7760 but so far I'm not satisfied. Your solution is at least already better by replacing the train motor with this one.

You can see that easily as you clearly see the ejection marks (and no layer lines, could have been resin of course, but again, those ejection marks are (too) evident)

I don't think LEGO is meant for industrial applications so please check the regulations first. There are also non-LEGO button "pushers" available on Amazon etc. If you really want to do it with LEGO, I would use a circular to linear motion device: or There are many more examples of course :)

That is a great way to control points @Ludo. Thanks for sharing.

You already got your answer of course (at 1000steine). But I'm wondering how did the heritage came about? Was the previous owner an AFOL or did (s)he have a shop? Must be a quite rare item. I loved those service packs back in the eighties as they were really good additions for the LEGO 12V trains.

As suggested by @Toastie, @Hod Carrier, @Paperinik77pk and others in the topic: FS Italian glories in 4-wide - 1:87, please share your 4-wide Train creations in here.

You're welcome ;)

There was a time when that was the same for me :)

@idlemarvel thanks for sharing! Really extensive work. I would almost buy an Android phone :) Is part 2 going to be on the Raspberry Pi?!

Thanks Jim. We finally put our signature on the builders contract (using concrete/stone instead of LEGO bricks :)) to get an extension to the house with a LEGO cellar so that I hopefully within a year can take the LEGO from the warehouse and start building a nice layout.

I found this nice video / solution: Thanks you for the great idea Larry's LEGO!

Hmm you are totally correct. I didn't notice that before. Well than not Brickshelf :p

@James_Bangying. Welcome to EB in general and Train Tech in particular. Thanks for sharing the design. I would use brick shelf for putting images. It is a somewhat ancient site but does the job well.

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).

Nice work! B.t.w. I have used a tiny microcontroller for it, that makes for even more possibilities.

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...

Very nice @Legownz! Thanks for sharing.

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.

Nice one @Haddock51. Great work.

Very nice Berthil!

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.

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:

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.:

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.

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.
