@Vilhelm22 Seems reasonable enough?

Fx Bricks (Michael Gale) announces Fx Track system
M_slug357 replied to HoMa's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@michaelgale This is exciting! Just wondering, but have you any thoughts about starting a "9V motor rehabilitation" program to essentially 'breathe new life' into older and/or dead 9V motors? . . . (Apologies if this has been asked before) -
@Withacee I'd definitely prefer more CITY city trains versus a scale scooter replica... with a big emphasis on the CITY part

Fx Bricks (Michael Gale) announces Fx Track system
M_slug357 replied to HoMa's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@michaelgale thanks for taking the time to really break it down for us! Regarding the dcc bit— does this mean that further on down the line you intend to release a motor & controller that are dcc ready/ equipped? -

M_slug357 replied to HoMa's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Whats wrong with blue? I'd say white&gray are a tad to homogeneous to the controller's color mock-up. Definitely shouldn't use red&green for the sake of any colorblind friends out there. Also, while I understand the desire for child-friendly products, from what I've read so far kids aren't the intended target market... -
TLG to @McWaffel: “But, what if we sweeten that 100€ deal with a 10€ helicopter for the new low price of 125€???” Seriously though, my main argument for having 7-8 wide trains is to lessen the amount of goofy** side builds and have the focus/parts’ budget honed in on the train… **(ahyuck) @dtomsen Is that what an R40 corner would look like scaled down to a minifigs’ point of view?

@Murdoch17 haha yeah… I swear I didnt forget, just was looking forward to that Canadian tbh… The mods should post a running tally board to keep track of these rejected Ideas projects and how many times they’ve been rejected— this is what, the 6th? 7th attempt at the Polar Express…?

RiP to the Via Rail set on Ideas But hey, Snow White and the Office are in…

I just watched those on Brick Fanatics, and I must say, they're weird but not in a good way (imho). But yeah, the monorail you mentioned from those commercials is interesting. I'd say that TLG would only be serious about releasing a monorail set if/when they release a new ad in this series that features "the adult" first riding (maybe even driving?) the monorail from the background, and then getting off to assembling of the Crocodile locomotive later.

The Great Pumpkin - fuel tank & loading facility
M_slug357 replied to Feuer Zug's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@Feuer Zug It just needs a lil green sprig at the top -
Personally, I hope that next year the Crocodile gets a recolor in dark red or green! On the topic of the next wave of train sets, have there been any trains featured in Lego media content (ie TV shows, comics) in the last year or so?

I'm starting to use copper-coated steel bb's that are normally for bb guns. I also experimented with gluing them into a block that could be inserted into 4x4 cylinder pieces...

Interesting, but why?

Fx Bricks (Michael Gale) announces Fx Track system
M_slug357 replied to HoMa's topic in LEGO Train Tech
About the tracks bending, I think it might help if they're warmed up a bit (ie a heat gun?) and then compressed between two flat & thick surfaces-- I recommend plywood/scrapwood, but would personally use some old hardback textbooks from school. -

Northern Pacific Z-6 Challenger UPGRADE for Lego Ideas
M_slug357 replied to Craig Strader's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@Craig Strader I would have three shots 1) a separate shot of the figs with the sign, 2) a stand alone shot of the engine & tender inits entirety, and 3) a close-up of the smokebox in the mid-ground and then the figs next to the signpost in the foreground. In terms of the background, it would be best imho if you could import some sort of “scenic vista”, but I think some sort of light blue or light grey gradient could also serve as a decent background. Hope this helps!- 15 replies

@Union Pacific Productionz I’m pretty sure the ACE has since been scrapped… …but if you’re savvy enough, maybe try reverse-engineering @Commander Wolf’s work from the photos?

@Craig Strader thats definitely not helpful information… Have you checked the formatting? The filesize? There’s got to be more to it than just “better” images.- 15 replies

Compact Locomotives with Large Technic Motor 88013
M_slug357 replied to ejayb's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@ejayb Back in the good ol' days of Power Functions, I tried to tackle a similar idea using the L-motor. While it wasn't the best solution, I feel it came very close though!
