I just received my round tracks and the monorail motor! Hope to have some spare time next weekend :)

because Big Ben Beneke makes them!

Indeed, I group the stickers on a background color, but it is a good solution to put more Post logos on it! Maybe a separate sheet for all train + shell related items.

Very very nice! Nice colors and very nice curves!

It is an older version but it is always a good ice to check with LEGO for a replacement. My brother in law has good experiences with that (accidentally one of my nieces drowned the train in a bucket of water ;)) although he told LEGO the cause, they just replaced it without any charge.

I have corrected it :) (I think the postal service already has had them for some days Heppeng). I just printed a correction sheet, so if you want I can also send that :) About the size of the sheets, it is the difficult thing that there are so many logo's / numbers / differences. So in the end it will be much cheaper to sell it like this, we otherwise need to charge for a whole bunch of stickers one does not need: If you only get the numbers and e.g. DB then you still have some left for another train, but won't have a bunch of different logos that you can't use. (and there are original sheets that are much much worse!)

No but I want to always make it as good as possible of course!!! :)

That is not good! I will have a look at it and will change it (I have 7740 in bricks with originals), better also mail me about it! Must have been a conversion problem from the old to our new machine (I needed to convert all old stickers...)

See this topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=84727&hl=%2Bpower+%2Bfunctions

now and then it is a challenge since often manufactures seal the chips... I'm suspecting a motor driver IC is the cause. (not an electrical engineer myself, but do teach Informatica / Embedded systems so have some professional knowledge).

Can you maybe upload pictures? That would help. Better also try to find or reproduce the circuit.

Hi Esben, it is a very, very nice train! The station is also nice.

looks great! Nice updates!

Federal Brick Investigators?!

nice job! hope your cables will fit inside!

Thanks for this nice tutorial!!! When I finish indexing more of such a topics I will put it up including yours!

Sérgio you did a great job!!! again!!! Hope you will find resources soon, but a virtual version is also very neat!

Thanks KringlesBricks, not sure about the cars yet. The UP Family days train would be a good idea but will cost quite a lot I guess ;)) @Zephyr: I think you are right indeed! I'm just recently became more involved in the history of American trains, but it is very interesting material! I will also follow your advice with the stripes. Now I need to design it when I get some time!

works very nice!!! My Bricklink order is on it's way ;) hope to make a tutorial for simple automation as promised!

That would be a good solution 404404, b.t.w. welcome to EB and the Train Tech forum (why don't you introduce yourself along the line ;)), the larger panels are a bit problematic for my PF version though since the wires won't fit than anymore (if you look closely you can see that!) so probably a stickers would not be that bad after all... @zephyr1934: thanks for the advice! B.t.w. what do you think the Super Chief is based on? From wikipedia, there are some options: "The first motive power set on Super Chief-1 consisted of a pair of blunt-nosed, diesel-electric units (EMC 1800 hp B-B) designated as Nos. 1 and 1A. Santa Fe employees quickly hung the nicknames "One-Spot Twins" and "Amos & Andy" (from the popular radio show of the day) on the units, which were always paired and ran back-to-back. In a little over a year the EMC E1, a new and improved 3,600 hp (2.7 MW) streamlined diesel-electric locomotive set (one 1800 hp hood unit and the other a cabless booster unit also making 1800 hp) would be pulling Super Chief consists. A variety of state-of-the-art locomotives (including ALCO PAs, EMD E6s, FTs, F3s, F7s, and FP45s, along with Santa Fe's only ALCO DL-107/108s and FM Erie-built units) would make their appearances on the line in the succeeding years. All wore the now-familiar Warbonnet paint scheme devised by Leland Knickerbocker of the GM "Art and Color Section" that debuted on the Super Chief-2."

@UrbanErwin, not that complicated, I might 'steal' your idea and make a tutorial for it!

Excellent idea!!! now you need reed sensors and an Arduino to control the system :)

strange sets with very interesting parts!

Hi Andromeda, no problem using this thread if it is about the same issue! Maybe a good idea to also use a scope?!!

@Hrw-Amen, it will help making a solid balast under the tracks:
