Hi, I have both, BuWizz and S-Brick. I can confirm the remarks about the BuWizz’s UI, but the advantages weigh way more higher! For S-Brick you need a battery box or the rechargeable battery, which in total consumes more space than a BuWizz. With BuWizz I powerfunctionized my old 12V TEE (=Set 7740) and because of the ludicrous mode it runs reasonably well. CU Carsten

Hi, a nice and interesting solution! How does the charger unit look like? You should seek for help with the guys of 4Dbrix. They have a lot of experience in 3D-printing and electronics. Regards from Hamburg CaL

Looks like it always belonged to this layout :) Very nice!!!

Hi Christian, greetings from Hamburg, Germany. If you are in general ready to follow a Non-LEGO-purist’s path, why don’t you save time and effort and buy 3D-printed Switches from trixbrix.eu or 4Dbrix.com? BR Carsten

And here is a nice video about the Em.Night in alternative colouring:

So I cut my first piece of Lego track, mixed results.
CaL replied to LegoDW's topic in LEGO Train Tech
If you have come so far as to start cutting tracks and switches, why don’t you just take a look at 3-D printed track pieces??? For Europe I can recommend TrixBrix.eu, if you are from the US take a look at the offerings of 4DBrix.com. -
3D printed tracks: TrxBrix.eu or 4Dbrix. Tracks from injection molds: brickTracks

Hi, go and buy a buwizz battery, which includes already a Bluetooth receiver. And it’s only 3 instead of 4 bricks high.

What a beautiful engine!!!

Fantastic builds! Only thing left to do: Buy yourself a Buwizz. It will be really a relief, not cramming the IR receiver anymore into a space limited tank engine ;)

Hi, I remembered, that the German builder Reinhard “Ben” Beneke once made some power pickups. Maybe his solution does help? Here is the link to his Brickshelf-archive: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5465030 regards carsten

Hi, I know it is not exactly, what you are looking for, but TrixBrix.eu offers sets to elevate your tracks. And Duncan from Dunksterbricks.com made a nice video about it which you find at his YouTube channel.

Hi, maybe a buwizz battery box would fit? It runs on Bluetooth and does not need an extra space consuming receiver. A similar option could be the PFx brick. Ciao CaL
