LEGO RC Trains (not PowerFunctions) IR protocol explained
JopieK replied to roeltrain's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@Martin0815. Thanks for the addition / correction. Apart from that: 1. Welcome to Eurobricks and Train Tech; 2. It would be very nice to share the data also as a text / csv file; 3. @roeltrain posted it almost 7 years ago so it would have been better to create a new topic on it and include this one, but at least it is very useful (i.e. for the people still using PF obviously).- 10 replies

Thanks @Poodabricks for mentioning. We'll discuss it first @Gabricks: Apart from that, welcome to Eurobricks and I enjoy your enthusiasm but for now I will lock it and let the others co-decide on it.

This also shows some interesting ideas: Taken from https://gameofbricks.eu/blogs/news/the-illegal-lego-building-techniques-to-pay-attention-to-2020 See also: B.t.w. There are even official sets that use illegal techniques: https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-cases-of-illegal-building-in-an-official-Lego-build- 21 replies

Very nice @Dr Snotson, thanks for sharing! (Thought you were new but my bet :))

I would go for a dummy indeed. In general, motor drivers have flyback diodes so it should not do harm immediately when manually pushed and the motor work as generator. However the flyback diodes are not meant for continuous operation and the generated current needs to go somewhere.

12v 80s Train Motor 7865: brass vs plastic gears?
JopieK replied to DoVoMonOgel's topic in LEGO Train Tech
It is fairly small so you could even try letting e.g. Shapeways print a metal alternative. -

JopieK replied to DoVoMonOgel's topic in LEGO Train Tech

Yeah, maybe even the newer 1x1 bricks with cross axle holes.

Control Demos - Any available?
JopieK replied to DrJB's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great topic @DrJB. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. I wouldn't know a more practical example either. -
Nice one @bricksboy. Great scale and neat design.

Really neat @Craig Strader. I also like the history and developments around it never knew it if you hadn't shared it with us.

Great find! It fits that 'conquistador' look quite well. -

JopieK replied to Pirate_King_1982's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I think it is a custom. -
Very nice indeed. But also agree with it being a little 'bare' as @Paperinik77pk points out.

<moc> NYC 4-8-2 Million Dollar Rexall Train
JopieK replied to LordsofMedieval's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Nice one @LordsofMedieval. Well I think it is already a nice rendition, but maybe build it in real bricks and then you see how it looks in the real world. -
Looks very nice @Murdoch17. Are those 'shed' doors available in red? Truck looks very nice as well.
