    Wow! Great idea indeed. Thanks for sharing (and indeed Flickr is better as EB won't allow the images...).

    I think it is a great topic for Train Tech. Very nice work and good idea!
  7. JopieK
    Not yet. Great idea though!
  8. JopieK
    Wow! Great review of a really nice set!
  9. JopieK
    That isn't a bad idea at all. Also adding 3D printed parts to solve certain issues...

    I didn't notice it, but I haven't built that much new sets lately. Very strange, one would think these days it would become even more precise with better CNC machines available to even the masses...

    Congratulations to the winners!!!

    Really great review indeed! Thanks @MKJoshA! The mold marks are maybe because of the particular molds that need service as they suffer from wear and tear.

    Wow Ivo, thanks for sharing! I will definitely try it. Forked it already :)

    Well don't open the switch, it basically destroys it. Use the spring and tongue to your advantage. I use L-shaped tiles with 92593 on the opposite site of the normal switch knob. Works like a charm. I can't show it IRL as my LEGO is still in a warehouse waiting on the builder to finish my new LEGO basement. Also, it is a rather old topic so keep that in mind (for future topics, it is often better to open a new topic and quote the old one).

    Good thinking. If we just had those pictures from a decade ago...

    Aha, great that you found the culprit. Well there are a lot of AAA battery boxes (non-LEGO I mean), maybe you can obtain a part from it to fix it.

    Do you have a multi-meter? You could than check the voltage of the cells and the combined cells. It should be around 9V (6x 1.5V). Apart from that, it seems to be a very straight forward PCB. There is probably a reverse polarity protection chip under the black gloop. The other (SOT-23-5 or something alike) seems to be an overvoltage protection (I can't read the numbers but something like: https://nl.mouser.com/datasheet/2/294/r1524_ec-3133291.pdf) You could check the leads of the LDO (is the input voltage correct, is the enabled pin working, what is the output if anything). There is also an alternative part number: 64228, see also: https://www.philohome.com/batteries/bat.htm

    And you made it even better by turning it into LEGO :) (TLG might have a different opinion on that but never mind ;))

    Very nice train indeed! Next a Cobra command blue train bridge?

    Friendly reminder dear LEGO friends: Keep on topic please and try to avoid conflict, it is supposed to be a hobby and hobbies should bring fun to our lives... The world is already full of venom without us adding to it I'm afraid.

    That is indeed a great idea! For now it is a reasonably sized free lunch I would say ;) Thanks @Toastie!
  22. JopieK
    Gratz @StreaMRoLLeR. Great you have it now :) Enjoy it.
  23. JopieK
    Alas... There is no free lunch of course.

    @EvansBrickHouse thanks for joining and sharing. You should be able to link from Flickr to Eurobricks! (I have too many images at Flickr though and I should pay as they changed their license some years ago). B.t.w. I hid the other topic: sharing and talking about creations is what Eurobricks is all about but not about self-promotion and sometimes that is a thin line.

    Thanks for sharing @Ferro-Friki. Looks amazing indeed. Also the smart way you placed the motors is very inventive.
