Unfortunately it's still not a .dat or usable for LDRAW. M2m how do you plan to use it?

That's a picture from Brickowl. I doubt there is a digital file of it since there is no LDRAW file of it either. Stud.io (owned by Lego), MLCAD, LDCAD, LPUB3D, LDVIEW, LeoCAD all use LDRAW parts.

Bricklink has this: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=36112pb01#T=C&C=11 36112pb01 Minifigure, Headgear Mask Cat with White Muzzle and Highlights, Pink Nose Pattern Catalog: Parts: Minifigure, Headgear Searches without "pb01" yield nothing, neither on LDRAW or peeron. It will probably not be included in LDD since it is too new.

I love that you are using the old control lab and finding new ways to use it. Many times I have thought about getting one but wondered if I could really use it. I don't know enough about a control lab. Today, I was wondering how your eight brick built switchers are made?

Can you tell us more about the Buwizz unit? How does the Buwizz work all day? Will the battery really last that long?

That's really cute! Is there any rubber on the yellow wheels for friction?

Yes, those service fees are prohibitive for me too. I especially don't like the fee on standard parts. You have to wait 6 weeks and you get to pay an extra $7.00 to boot if you don't have at least $14.00 worth. It will take me a long time to accumulate enough wanted parts to avoid paying the "OUCH" fee.

Bricks & Pieces aren't even available currently in the USA since Friday.

I would suggest googling " Lego stickers". There are some sites that specialize in Lego stickers Try Bricklink and such too. I tried Lego some years ago for sets 7781-3 to replace peeling stickers, but they couldn't help.

What arm part is that holding the revolver?

For the 9V train power supply, you just need a PF extension wire (extra wire mentioned above).The PF extension wire can plug into the train controller and connect to PF wires.

This is the link for 42000 from LDraw's OMR: https://omr.ldraw.org/files/1047 . 42009 does not seem to be available there.

Pretty cute! So, make instructions and put it on Rebrickable.

You can use up to 12v batteries with PF, but learn how to do it.

What about gearing for more torque?

If it is power functions, you can get an old 9V train controller. Then use an extra PF wire on the train controller to convert it to PF.

Technic bricks will always be Technic; they have Technic pinholes to accept Technic pins!

Those 2780s are good pins. I sorted out all my older pins so now I only use 2780 pins Old sets may have replaced parts and not have the pins you want. Be sure to ask before buying.

I'd clean all Legos. Found this on Google: How to Remove Mold from Plastic Toys Make a solution of one part distilled white vinegar to 20 parts warm water (½ cup of vinegar per gallon of water). Submerge the toy in the vinegar solution. Let sit for 1 hour. Squeeze out any excess water and rinse the toy off. Let it air dry completely.

The bricks will be expensive!! Bricks and plates still have the strongest connections. So use Technic bricks for sure. But, you'll also need a very fast CPU, very large monitor, lots of RAM and a major GPU with it's own RAM. I wish you the best, if you decide to continue with this BIG dream.

Check Craigslist, ebay, yard/garage sales, "Bricks & Minifigs" store. That last one is the best for me.

I would like to be able to get through replacement parts the following: Camels, sheep, cows, chickens, dogs, cats. Some of these items are very expensive because of rarity. It makes Chinese counterfeit parts seem very desirable. I would prefer LEGO!

Here is another great design from Masao Hidaka: I'm no longer using my design since his is stronger and easier to build, plus the loop is properly spaced to join the continuation of track.

That is some incredibly complicated engineering, WOW!!!!!!!!! Dare I ask if there are going to be building instructions?

Similar to what happened with me. The last revision was: 2021-05-14. This is a free software so (I'm sure) it is updated in his free time.
