    I didn't say it wouldn't work. Speed is the main concern. PF and RC 9v motors on 12v definitely run too fast without being turned down, so it's pretty likely that the 12v motors on 9v will run too slow. Just need to be aware of that, probably OK for a train meant to be slow like a shunter. Also note that the Motraxx 263 doesn't have any great traction advantages as compared to the normal motors, just from experience running them, they are about the same.

    Wow, gorgeous build LT12V ! :wub: Great to see amazing new features with working fans and innovative gearing. Wondering, if there are 3 M motors hiding under the boiler and only 2 gears sticking up from the wheel base where does the third motor go? Is it because you have 2 motors just for the back half of the loco?

    Motraxx 263 will work most likely but it runs off 12v rather than 9v. I switched out a PF motor for one on my 12v layout.

    Did you switch over to 9v/RC wheels on the wagons also? Can't tell from the video, they're just moving too fast....

    Congratulations Commander Wolf, is a thing of beauty Very cleanly done with wheels and swivel plates.

    Lovely train station Kivi. The integrated bridge and road tunnel are a great touch.

    Fantastic stuff Annie and ES, you're both totally insane....a great use for blue track too, of which I may add I have plenty...

    Wow, very cool Zephyr! You've got a lot of heavy duty stuff totally hidden away. The bridge sections and the roof makes it look simpler than it is.

    Beautiful Zorg, thanks for sharing. Now the important things are moved you can move onto the rest of the house.

    Like it, would love to see the built version.

    That's a good idea, just need to find some minifig swim suits

    Wow, really nice Really builds on the traditional 12v experience :thumbup:

    Thanks Max. Glad you like them!

    Excellent, and the durt is gone!

    Beautiful detailing BMW Have some questions, what paint did you use for the side of the wheels, do you think it will take long running without scraping off? How did you finish off the sides of that brilliant head lamp? Are those the Enlighten window pieces that come with printed curtains in the carriage? Also love the horse on your previous "Battle of San Juan Hill" creation

    Thanks for that Annie! I still have a long straight section of blue conductor on RC bley. Think I'll be able to completely make my mind up when I've completed a loop of it, still need to buy some RC curves. It is very nice on the later wheels, did you modify some conductor rails for curved usage yet?

    Wow, that's awesome, those minfigs better not get too close! Where did you find the vacuum cleaner?

    Remember some of the more recent technically purist parts are far more scandalous. For example, need I remind everyone :

    Nice effect with the different colour sleepers. So is this now your preferred 12v track solution as opposed to grey conductive rails on brown Enlighten track or will both co-exist? I see you've made different angle 12v points

    That's a great crane Annie, like the boiler / clean colour scheme and looks very solid / practical

    Congrats LT12V, fantastic train glad you found room to expand the collection!

    That explains the part next to the doors, (I assume you mean this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3839a ), but I was wondering about the teeny tiny door handles. Thinking about it, I'm guessing now they are minifig utensil hammers and pick axes ( http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=6246b & http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=30193 ) ?

    Oh wow, they're really cute :thumbup: I expect there are many, yet to be dreamed up, multiple uses for these.
  24. bricks n bolts
    Fantastic, working really great..yay!

    Kinda wish I'd done this too, as I bought two of these sets but gave one away.
