    I would think that the originals are as yellow as yellow can be, but... they come out nicely in orange too I guess...

    6397 and 6594 maybe?

    Very cool Brickedin! Lot of great details and nice array of different planks and gear.

    Haha, Petoffeltown, good find Schemdalegotrain! Welcome aboard, hope you will enjoy your stay! Sorry to hear about your 7938. If you connect the motor directly to the battery holder? A tip would be to come to Steenwijk (stapelgekopsteentjes event, next weeks Saturday / Sunday, I'll be there on Saturday).

    If it is a current motor, LEGO service will replace it, if it is not a current motor we will not be able to buy it from LEGO.

    Non-polarized elco's seem to exist in quite a large range: 0.47 – 2,200 μF e.g. this one: http://nl.farnell.co...-rad/dp/1236693 I did not experiment with them, but that would be very interesting to do!

    Very nice job! The details like the steam robot are just great!

    it is very easy to replace such a component for everyone with basic skills in electronics / soldering

    Just back, was a very nice day! Quite a lot of visitors! @unclejeffie: there are (and today even a stand with stickers ;)) and of course a lot of MOC's etc! The organisation did a great job!

    Very nice job ionis41 and welcome to EB in general and Train Tech in particular!

    Servo means: a motor (DC normally) with feedback. There are essentially two kind of servo motors: digital and analog ones. The digital ones get digital feedback and the analog ones analog. The digital ones might use for example a gray encoder to move into the correct position, the analog ones often use a variable resistor. You could build one using a normal DC motor, but remember that the feedback mechanism will take space too and there needs to be some kind of logic, servo's have a controller chip onboard.

    too bad it isn't a Mac ;)

    Sometimes it is I think, although my work is too dynamic to do so... ;) How are the trains coming along?

    Not reachable by NSA? Eurobricks is an internet site isn't it? And I guess you still have a bankcard etc.

    Very nice train! It just looks great. Motorising it will be difficult though I think?
  16. JopieK
    Depending on the size of the table you have :)

    I left a link in Train Tech, but this is the place for such a requests :) hope you'll find one, I'm also trying to get one, part by part!

    Sorry, so it was the "Hondekop" (Doghead), they look very much alike in LEGO version apart from indeed the windows. I have had the pleasure to ride Mat' 54 but those are museum peaces now :)

    Looks like a MAT-64 from Dutch Railways. They don't often use them anymore (fortunately, barbaric trains ;) and I travel a lot by train for my job. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NS_Mat_'64 I would also think the orient express would be a very good idea!

    Well, how should we answer that? Bricklink is a forum of private and commercial sellers all around the world. So it totally depends on the location of the seller vs. your location, also on the particular seller, etc. etc. etc. only way is asking the seller and looking on their terms page.

    Maybe you are not very familiair with hobby trains, but in the normal hobby train scene we also have a lot of different scales that include large but also micro scales. Last year at the Köln Brickfest there also were model railroaders including a whole section where drivers would sit on their trains and drive around (looked a bit silly to me, but of course, others might consider us playing with LEGO (Technic and Trains alike) silly).

    Bricksonwheels just presented his fabulous BNSF EMD SD40 Locomotive. Specs: 1:16, 1.31 meters long, 24 studs wide, and counts approx. 20.000 bricks. Check it here in Train Tech Tip! The train will be shown at LEGOWorld Netherlands in October 2014.
  23. JopieK
    Great job! Works very well in that scale. Did you also power it and build some kind of tracks for it?
  24. JopieK
    Of course you can use two, you can in fact use up to eight trains, but I don't think that is manageable without computer control :). B.t.w. welcome to Eurobricks, why don't you also introduce yourself!

    The Germans are on a Narrow Gauge spree: link (in German) They of course already have 100+ years experience
