Hello all fellow train folks, today I have another MOC but it isn't a train, it is a track piece that we haven't been able to get in 10 years. Here it is more info to follow. 1). It has to be the same size as previous tracks. 2). It would need to use minimal parts and be easy to construct. 3). It would need to be as quiet as possible or be as quiet as standard Lego tracks when the train rolls over it. 4). It would have to be stable and would not fall apart in use. I hope you all enjoy my MOC and this track piece. I you feel inclined constructive criticism is always welcome! If you thought It was brilliant you can support it here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/131973

45 Degrees in technic
Alien posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi everybody If been playing around with constructing at 45 degrees in technic and found the following techniques: The first one is using an axle through some connectors thus giving you 45 degrees and of course you can now start mounting or building of the axle: I also played around with the Pythagoras theorem and found the two practical values to use: 5 ( 6L in LEGO the first L is the 0 position ) and 7.071 { 5.sqrt(2) } rounded to 7 ( 8L in LEGO the first L is the 0 position ) 7 ( 8L in LEGO the first L is the 0 position ) and 9.899 { 7.sqrt(2) } rounded to 10 ( 11L in LEGO the first L is the 0 position ) The first Pythagoras pair used is the top left with the 6L black axle and the two no. 4 connectors. Not a fan of this method as it is a bit over sized and if you build the parts rigid into you construction with support from the top and the back of the no. 4 connector it might ever so slightly bend the axle or damage your parts. The second pair method one is the 11L beam again not a fan of this method as it will pull ever so slightly as it is actually a bit under sized. The second pair method two and most favoured by me personal is the one I like most yes there will be a small 0.1mm gap in the gray axle but it is really small. I like this method better because I can brace the no 4 connectors from the back and from the tops. I wanted to share this but also I would like to know if you guys have any other techniques you would like sharing? I would like to keep it stud less if possible. Of course using the new A plate with some technic bricks would also be a possibility: http://alpha.brickli...lor=11#T=C&C=11 Anton Edit 1:Used flickr deaplinks instead of attachments
