Modular Park Street Townhouse with Train Tunnel (31065 MOD)
baard replied to Legopold's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Nice MOC Kind of scary situation when that Train comes through the tunnel, but really cool I like the maintenance area and the tree as well as the greenhouse roof. Thanks for sharing! -
Envious...., hmm, must clear my Lego room from all the boxes, but then I have to clear the attic first ...... etc. etc.

Since you have large wheels, an M motor would fit near the wheel base, or it could also stand. Battery on top of that/ in front of that under the hood, either the regular boxy PF battery/rechargable one, or an old 9V battery Box using the conversion cable, and then finally the PF receiver in the back where the driver now stands.

Nice shunter Large enough IMHO to put in PF Components if you compromise a bit in for the driver. Why don't you give it a try?

How could I provide power and/or data coupling between train cars?
baard replied to TK2241's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I really like this idea. For my purposes this will work excellent and looks less bulky than other solutions When do you perceive these will be produced? -
Inspiring builds The idea book came out just before I entered into my Dark Age, but seeing these built IRB gives inspiration to build. Thanks for sharing and keep it coming

Very Nice video! Any derailings while making it? Looks like a huge Lego room!
-
Great MOC! I like the waterfront and elevated street. Nice interiors and great diorama feeling of the Whole thing. Would have liked to see it IRB.

This shunter is PF controlled, 1 L motor for propulsion (front axle), 1 M motor that lies under the battery for decoupling (retractable magnet in the back of the locomotive). Receiver in the hut as well as PF lights in front and back. Quite tight packing. On a flat track, the engine is able to pull 10 wagons, see below. (Brick underneath front of locomotive to show that front lights are on....). Sorry for the bad pictures

Works like a charm for long trains, and especially nice at shows where kids tend to want to put their hand on the train For coupling-uncoupling at a yard this does not work. I find that for most of my needs, the Lego magnets function well. I would try these if they are produced. Thanks for sharing Coaster!

Hi See my Flickr. Aim to get turntable to be not to high from baseplate. Ended up 2bricks + 1 plate high. PF controlled, gearing can be seen in my photostream https://www.flickr.com/photos/115097068@N03/with/13356483985/ Good Luck!

TRAIN TECH Help, General Questions & Talk to the Staff
baard replied to WesternOutlaw's topic in LEGO Train Tech
If you want to save space and want to go for a non-Lego solution, try the Buwizz box. Battery and remote control in one box, smaller than the Lego battery pack, rechargeable and can be totally hidden into your model as it is blue tooth controlled by your smart phone. Mine ran for 4-5 hours at a show, powering 2 PF Train motors (sometimes adding light (4 PF outputs on top of the box)), hauling 18 brick dense tanker cars before I had to recharge the battery. -
Kickstarter: ME Models Tracks for both metal and ABS only track pieces
baard replied to JopieK's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Still have not received pledge or additional ordered parts here in Norway. No answer to emails via website. All in all very disappointed so far. If it is true that production is still happening and people are receiving their pledge as cptkent just posted, there is possibly hope that someday I will receive my order. In the meantime I do not plan projects that include the ME rails. -
MOC: 1:22.5 Bulgarian 2-10-2T narrow gauge steam engine (class 600.76)
baard replied to Sven J's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Wow! Again an amazing model! I do too wonder about the workings of the magnetic contacts ( Ah, saw the answer just now, thanks), clever to "hide" them inside the turning wheels or nozzles or what they are called Can't wait to see it running om your track. I would also love to see the transmission from the 3 motors to the wheels I also have to comment on your presentation. Superb photos, both the model itself and the comparison pictures with the original. Just mind blowing and adding to the wonderful experience. Congratulations on being front paged, Well deserved! -

Fantastic execution. Love it, also the very compact RC solution. Agree that black>white -
Nice! Thanks!

Nice loco! Could you show us the wiring of the switch and battery? Thanks for sharing!
-
Nice mechanism for the wheels. How does it handle the points?
-
I love this Version of the Mallard. Nice video of it running as well. Could we see a picture of the transmission from XL motor to wheels?
