Seasonal Set 40222 - How many different Models can be build WITHOUT dismantling a little Build?
legoboy3998 replied to badchriss's topic in LEGO Town
BrickOCD, why not either add a plate on tomp if the brick with the fishing line in between. Or stack up two or three plates with the line in between, no drilling needed. Sal WFB, WI -
Trouble Uploading LDD File To Bricklink Wanted List
legoboy3998 posted a topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
I tried to Upload the following model to my Bricklink Wanted List. I got an error message that briefly appeared on the screen before disappearing. The message read something to the effect, "the file could not be uploaded because one ore more parts are invalid or do not exist in the Bricklink library". My problem is Bricklink gives no indication what parts are good and which are "invalid", so I have no idea how to correct the file so I can upload it and order the parts. Does anyone know how I can find out which parts are "invalid" without having to upload each part individually? http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/legoboy3998/WSOR/trip.lxf Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions, Sal WFB WI -
Trouble Uploading LDD File To Bricklink Wanted List

Thank you SylvianLS. I finally got it to work using rebrickable. It took quite a bit more work, but once I get used to it, I am sure it will be easier in the future. Sal WFB, WI -
Actually it is quite accurate to the real thing. It is meant to access the pallet from the side facing the camera. The wheels (black 1x1 dots) ride up and over the bottom board and through the pallet (or just before the last board without sticking all the way through. Than the handle pumped to raise the pallet off the ground by lowering the front wheels. A real pallet jack (yellow hand truck) doesn't typically does not fit under the sides of a pallet. The fork holes usually aren't large enough. Sal WFB, WI

My only concern would be the one you linked dows not seem to mention if it is plastic safe. Many of the Labelle lubricants specifically say they are safe for plastics. Sal WFB, WI

That happened to me. When I purchased 10 packs (500 ball bearings) a few weeks ago, I got an email saying the bearings were back ordered but they would send a PCB board as a free gift and the bearings would be sent when they came in. I recieved the ball bearings about a week after I recieved the "free" PCB board. The bearings actually came well before Ebays estimated delivery. Have a little faith and give it a couple weeks. Between EBay and PayPal, you have plenty of recourse if they don't arrive. Sal WFB, WI

Look into Labell Industries lubricants. They are specifically made for model trains and RC cars and are plastic compatible. https://www.walthers.com/search/scale/all-scales?q=Labelle Sal WFB, WI

They look great! I like the dump trailer you made. Dose the dump trailer dump? If so, can you post pics showing it dumping please. Sal WFB, WI

LDD Manager 0.99 released (with 4.2.5 support)
legoboy3998 replied to Superkalle's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
I just imported a model into LDD Manager 125 and it says part 15573 (Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud with Groove and Inside Stud Holder (Jumper)) is not available in Black, Tan, an Yellow. I checked Bicklink and it is available in all three. I don't know if this is an error in LDD Manager or some other issue. On a side note, is there a way to check for updates to LDD Manager, or do you need to check the link in the first post manually? Thanks, Sal WFB, WI -
Congratulations on your first book! And I would love to buy a copy if you ever pursue getting it published in English. Sal WFB WI

Great model! Just one question, where are Chief Ryback and Commander Krill? :) Sal WFB, WI

I wouldn't mind seeing how to build that one. I have designed a Haynes one a while back, but never built it. We have two abandoned Spurs behind our shop that the owner had us clear the trees and brush from. One of the tracks has a bent Haynes. I thought of asking the property owner if I could take it, if it wasn't so bent. It would make a heck of a piece of yard art. Some railroads also stack old ties at the end of seldom used tracks, or put piles of ballast at the end of an industry or storage track. Sal WFB, WI

Try contacting Bricksonwheels on Flickr. In the description for the pic at the following link, He mentioned having 30.5mm drivers 3d printed for a UP Big Boy project.

I think I messed up some where a long the way.
legoboy3998 replied to Electricsteam's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I think it looks really good so far. If you want to lengthen the train, it does not look to difficult looking at your screenshot of the videogame. I think you could make the section with the two vertical 1x black tiles longer to allow you to cross the tiles. My only other suggestion would be to lower the double arch above the front driver wheels to just above the wheel if possible. Than if possible, add a curved piece behind that in place of the inverted slope to more match the screenshot. Other than that I think it looks really good! -

Oh, ok thanks for the info. When looking at their website, they did seem a tad expensive. Sal WFB, WI -
Texas Brick Railroad at Brick Fiesta 2015
legoboy3998 replied to SavaTheAggie's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Great layout as always!! I especially like the"happy little trees". I hope when you are placing the trees around the layout you say "maybe one lives right over here, and maybe another one right over here," LOL. Are you using the Kam-Konnect tables you were looking into previously? I am curious how you like them for LEGO layouts. Keep up the great work. You guys are an example of what all us other LEGO Train fans can only dream of and strive to achive. Sal WFB, WI -
I am looking for help building a wedge type snow plow for a MOC. The difficult part for me is the compound angles and curves. Here are a couple shots I took of the plow several years ago. Wedge Snow Plow for Balast Regulator by legoboy3998, on Flickr Snow Plows for Balast Regulator by legoboy3998, on Flickr Snow Plows for Balast Regulator by legoboy3998, on Flickr Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

I can't wait to get it in to brick as well. I am currently LDD'ing a whole bunch of Maintenance of Way equipment. Once I get them all mocked up in LDD, I'll start ordering parts and building them. I will post pics of the finished models in the Train Tech Forum. Sal WFB, WI

GallardoLU, it is a somewhat big plow. It is actually for a train MOC not a city vehicle. Here is the finished LDD model. ballast regulator Snow by legoboy3998, on Flickr And the real think in action. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube....bed/0O88zGCYoHo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I may look into that. The two constraints, as far as the bottom edge of the plow, are the half stud offset every other stud, and that there needs to be a space to allow the railroad rail to recess slightly for clearing the snow.

Thanks Mariko and PastVPresent for your advice. I actually completely forgot about both of those LEGO sets, even though I have both. I ended up playing around in LDD and I think I came up with a pretty good solution. Wedge Plow 1 by legoboy3998, on Flickr Wedge Plow 2 by legoboy3998, on Flickr It does not sweep back quite as far as it maybe should, but for now it should work. Sal WFB, WI

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but it made more sense than starting a new one. I am currently working on designing some on track maintenance equipment. I am having some trouble with the little bumpers on either end of the machine. I thought I remember seeing a MOC someone posted somewhere with very god solution, but of course, now I can't seem to find it. Here is a picture (someone else's not mine), does anyone have any suggestions on solution, or the MOC. Thank you, Sal WFB, WI

I agree with everyone else, as a MOW "geek", I think it is AWSOME! I think you did an amazing job capturing the prototype, and an even better job of the, oh so difficult to capture, little details of the engine and hydraulic systems. Great parts usage and techniques. Sal WFB, WI
