  1. I wasn't shure whether this fits in here or in the technic subforum. I want to present to you my working fixed grip single chairlift. It features a bottom drive station with 2 fischertechnik xs motors underneath the station to power the thing. you might ask why didnt I use a lego motor? the reaason is simple. I didnt have a lego motor that works except the train motor at the time and i had these lying around. they work great and are 9v DC motors aswell so they would work with the powerfunctions/9v/powered up system if i made an adaptor cable for it. the top station features a tensioning system using an empty 9v battery as a weight. the top station is modeled after the older style doppelmayr lifts with a sort of tensioning tower. I also built some other mocs like a ski conveyor and a small snow cannon. but without further ado here are the pics: the bottom yellow part houses the two motors. there is a liftshack and some exhaust pipes indicating the emergency drives diesel motor. it also features gates to let skiers in timed just right to the chairs (non working). this is the top drive station complete with its liftshack, a webcam on its roof, the sign for the lift and the tensioning system. incase you are wondering why the bricks dont quite line up in the model dont worry irl they do line up it is within the tolerances of the bricks. here is an accurate model of the top station. it is for a 4 person lift though so the bullwheel is a bit larger if you want to see another pic of the real life thing please visit: https://www.lift-world.info/de/lifts/3096/datas.htm as for the bottom station it doesnt really have a real life counterpart as there where many fixed grip chairlifts made with underground drive where the lower ground was visible due to the landscape. it is/was quite a generic design for a lift. the lift chair: I had to make it narrower than the design @dagupa used for his because my bullwheels are smaller than his. i used the same ones for drive and tensioning which permits the chairs to not swing into the center on the pass of the bullwheels. my drive bullwheel has a blue lego rubber band in it to permit traction with the haul rope without having to have insane amounts of tension breaking something. I also built a ski conveyor which you'd often find on beginner hills/to connect a restaurant to a slope etc. there are three variants all modeled after the conveyors produced by SUNKID. one is the open variant and two are different designs for coveres ones: and finally i made a little snow cannon by de-toyifying the one from the city snowgroomer set. i used an aircraft turbine for the cannon part and even added a little light on top. hope you like my skiing themed mocs! if anyone wants the studio files they are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1h0ehsvt1i40o0o/AABCVx11JgplnTeDrDPl0c1da?dl=0 there are also some other concepts and models in there. just check them out and see if you like them. they are all in german though but i am shure you'll work it out. if you want to build the lift just follow @dagupa's instructions for routing the cable and attaching the chairs: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-10233/dagupa/motorized-ski-lift/#details he also made a video of it running. mine runs similar to his:
