It's actually not scrapped, but it hasn't been run in a long time. I hope to make instructions for it, but needs some reworking and low on the priority list at the moment.

The marginally less unsuccessful Leader 2.0! I didn't see any pic/comment about it: what did you do for the third axle in the bogies? Is it sliding? How did you route the gearing around it?

[MOC] 1:350 Battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya (Powered Up)
Commander Wolf posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello all, three years ago I finished a 1:350 scale model of the battleship Kongo, and now I have finally finished a second one! The Russian battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya launched in 1911 (originally as the Gangut) and served until 1956. I built the ship at the same scale as the Kongo as 1:350 is common for large plastic models. This video has more commentary and shows the ship running: -
Thank you, that is exactly what I am looking for!
-
This is a really nice model. What is the scale?
-
For those of you who have taken the 12v motor apart, how do you open the case? It doesn't seem to have any of the tabs of the 9v motor; do you just have to cut around the entire edge?

Been a while for this thread, dumping a couple more larger/themed modules: Auto Dozer and Slide and Spin: -
[MOD] Repairing an old 4,5v motor - adding a bit of Japan Tuning!
Commander Wolf replied to Paperinik77pk's topic in LEGO Train Tech
How did you remove the metal gear from the old motor and/or install it on the new motor? Just brute force? EDIT: Also, the 4.5v motor is pretty easy to disassemble since it has screws: does anyone know of a guide for dismantling the 12v motor? -

The body is very nice. I think you could make nicer trucks if you used Technic axles and the cross-axle wheels.

Clever containers. I did a double take

Elevated curve with pillars mounted on a baseplate
Commander Wolf replied to naboo's topic in LEGO Train Tech
If you are using modern plastic track, especially R40, I think it's sufficiently strong to secure only the ends and let the curved section "float" on tiles. -
Always depends on implementation, but I think in general cranks should be fine. I have at least one fairly heavy duty engine with one powered axle and the rest cranked, and I have not had any problem with the cranks.

Big Ben Bricks XL drivers derailing on switches?
Commander Wolf replied to Phil B's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Probably just that the rigid wheelbase is too long to take R40 switches cleanly. In my experience doing a rigid F-B-F wheelbase with XLs (single X) is already pushing it.
