    Hi Holger, congrats for this work! It is a pity there was no publisher willing to print it, as nothing can replace to hold a real book physically in one’s own hands!! Regards Carsten

    I went a different way and connected my 7740 12V-train motor to a Buwizz. The Buwizz can supply up to 12 V ;) Works perfect and no extra power pick-up car is necessary.

    Hi Holger, such a labour of love or should I better say labour of patience, "brick"-laying the walls out of all those 1x2 and 1x1 plates! A real beauty you created here! BR Carsten

    CaL replied to German Luigi's topic in LEGO Train Tech

    A few US american guys back in 2017 also posted about their solution with ball bearings: https://brickmodelrailroader.com/index.php/2017/01/21/keeping-it-rolling-smoothly/

    CaL replied to Enrico7676's topic in LEGO Train Tech

    Hi Enrico, a very nice Layout! Just a short remark from my side: The correct abbreviation for “Bahbetriebswerk” is “Bw”, not “bhw”. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnbetriebswerk Cu Carsten

    Is 8w or 9w closer to minifigure scale?

    CaL replied to SteamSewnEmpire's topic in LEGO Train Tech

    Let me add, that building in an uneven width (e.g. 7 or 9 studs) seems to be more challenges according to some famous Lego train guys, e.g. Holger Matthes - take a look at his nice book: https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/1593278195/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=The+Lego+Trains+Book&qid=1579858035&sr=8-1 Or his VT 11.5: https://www.holgermatthes.de/bricks/en/vt-11-5-tee.php

    Yes, this train company is called “Metronom” and mainly runs trains in the area between Hamburg, Hannover and Lüneburg. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronom_Eisenbahngesellschaft

    Hi, a very nice build! If you are looking for more british prototypes I can recommend you the YouTube Channel of Chris Eden-Green. The guys looks like beeing stuck in the 1970ies but makes very informative Videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChristheXelent KR CaL

    CaL replied to Paperinik77pk's topic in LEGO Train Tech

    Hi Davide, thanks for this video! Remembering seeing & riding on trains pulled by some of those type of small diesel engines on some European narrow gauge railroads I must admit that the speed to me seems to fully match my memories ;) Carsten
