Thanks for the link and your information, this component appears pretty easy to set up. Is the diode sensor used to trigger the PC board and therefore control the two circuits? ( forgive my ignorance, I'm not too good with electronics, unless they are explained to me real well )

Not to hijack this post but,................badbob001............that piano is beautiful. can you share any details about its' construction? btw..........are those 'panels' underneath the keyboard? Your construction appears very simple, I got to have one............. hmm............ build one

imvanya, Thank-you very much for your various lxf files, all of your cars are fricking awesome. My imagination could never come up with these great designs, you can bet I'll have a bunch of 'em in my Lego City train layout. Looking forward to any new creations by you................. :thumbup:

Hello All Builders, Here is an update on the progress of this beautiful train engine shed, I'm taking my time to enjoy the build................. My building tray won't let any piece hit the floor......... Here is where the Engine Shed will live its' life in my layout. I'll post more pictures as I progress, also thanks to.............. PeterPNL...........for such a great simple design. Yes, this is a little different from the original design, but I needed the machine shop to be "turned around" and located on the opposite wall for my layout.
-
Thanks for your reply, I'll look into the information and 'bookmark' your website...............

Alrighty then! No not really, I'm a little computer/electronic challenged. I've heard of this stuff before, but I'm clueless. Do you have any links on where I might learn about this idea in your train layout? Any help is appreciated.........

AlmightyArjen, Can you possibly explain how you did the electrical components of this system. I have those very crossing arms and made a simple micro-motor driven mechanism ( rubber bands & pulleys ) inside a small structure, along with the old fashioned 1x4 light plate. One direction of current and both lights come on, when the voltage is hooked up in a reverse order you get alternating flashing lights, just like the real RR Crossing. Currently I just use a reversing switch and operate this by hand, when I feel like it! Forgot to add, I love your Coal Train............ :thumbup:

Might I suggest you change your Internet provider, I had trouble using those idiots too. They responded to me that "the internet provider hosting Designer-Hans' website has spam security issues". So we as customers can't connect to a Lego Toy website? I have since ( over a year ago ) changed to Verizon, no troubles at all. :thumbup: -
I 2nd that, my software updated. I noticing that in the beginning it showed "downloading patch", then the "downloading bricks" approx. 5 times, then "updating" itself. Finally the program started and ( drum roll please )...............it DIDN'T CRASH!

I'm very pleased to announce that LDD is once again working properly. ( for me ) :thumbup: I'm a little computer challenged, so I thought to download this program ( older version ) from a reliable 2nd party, after clearing out the former software from my Laptop. I really don't know if this made a difference or not, but the good thing was after downloading the software and then hitting 'running', the software prompts to load a .8 version and it begins by showing "Loading Patch", then it shows "Loading Bricks", I think 5 times. Then after "Updating" the program finally starts and it DOES'NT CRASH!!! Hooray, I'm a very happy camper, now back to building...........
-
Fellow Builders, Are you guys running on the new update? I've removed the software three times, hoping that the new 'fix' has been loaded when I attempt to download the software again. I've been waiting for this 'fix' to materialize sometime very soon, I've plenty of building to do, but can't get this software to keep from crashing every time I try to open. Are there any links to the 'fixed' software, or do I need to be patient and try some other day?
-
LDD Update anytime soon?

OMG! I got on this morning to build a new MOC............aahhh........... nothing is working, it just crashes after a 'boot-up'. I even took out the program and reloaded it again, still crashes................ I hope that this will be able to get fixed........... -
efferman, Thanks for your hard work and sharing your lxf files on this creation. What were the parts not available in ( yellow ), if that was your original color? I'm hunting for these parts in my inventory now, hope I can find good White pieces.
-
technicfan, Be sure to check Rebrickable as Ingmar said. Rebrickable is showing the new #'s for these bands, not to trump Ingmars post above, these are what you're looking for; http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=x37 Also you'll need; http://www.bricklink...gItem.asp?P=x71, hope that helps.

I hope it works out for you to be able to have/offer a "budget version" as well as a "pimp your ride" choice in building your creations. The problem for me is all of your trucks are gorgeous, I just need deeper pockets, so I can build every one. This is the reason I asked about the other trucks you will be releasing in the future. Both of the trucks I asked about have very different build/body styles and the difference of all displayed together ( with your other trucks ) would look "Jaw Dropping Awesome". I'm currently Bricklink-ing all the needed parts for this trailer now, I'm looking forward to building. Like Lundgren has said, "you can't have enough of your trucks" ( and trailers ), the more the better I say.
-
That's a great idea, a parts pack of additional Chrome pieces would be really nice, as an option to "pimp" your designs with the American style of Chrome add on. :thumbup: I for one would like to see you redesign the USTruck 8 or USTruck 12, I've already saved those white rims for the wheels of this truck ( future build ), hopefully some day.
-
Ingmar, My friend, you have answered my long awaited wishes. Thank-you so much for all your hard work in redesigning and publicly releasing these BI. You know what truck will be hooked-up to this creation................my Desert Angel.............I'll be demonstrating this pair of MOCs at next years Brickworld Indy show. Now you know where I'll be using that grill/bar in TAN, got to keep my log load from shifting into my trucks cab! To make this trailer look even better, I'll be building the frame color as it is, but the rest will be TAN..................should look really great together.
-
jorgeopesi, My vote would be your Cat 797B, it would look and function well with sheos' Terex400 Excavator. Besides both models are Minifig scale. My future plans are for a diorama of excavating/mining site, this would be perfect.
-
PeterPNL, First of all thank-you for your lxf files. I've gathered every part and am waiting to finish some home improvement projects. ( This helps keep the wife happy ) I'm adding this to my train layout, which I'm getting ready for the Brickworld Indy show in March of 2015. I have only two diesels, but they can take turns getting their maintenance and then back to pulling coaches or stock freight. The Gray base plate in my pictures of my '9 Volt Train Layout' ( in my Bricksafe gallery ) shows where this will be located, I'll post pictures when I have completed this great looking single engine train shed. :thumbup:
-
Thanks dr_spock, I've thought about showing this new train ( my first MOC ), but sometimes life wants full attention and things get delayed. I promise I'll post better pictures of my Amtrak Train.

This whole layout is gorgeous, I really like all the fantastic landscaping. Great job TBRR group, you all deserve a good applause. :thumbup:

@ Murdoch17........Thank-you so much, great idea about splitting the platform. I moved this MOD for photos and it slipped out of my hands It sounded like glass hitting the floor! Half an hour later and reassembling all was well. @ BricksMcgee......Go ahead and get those bricks, I'm very happy how this 'no backside' creation turned out, as Murdoch17 said it displays a "very tropical vibe", I used instructions to build the palms by a EB member, Mike S. @ cgarison...........Thank-you for the compliment ( Lazarus developed this MOC! ) I just added a lot of life into it The 7 wide locomotive is my very first MOC of a EMD F40PH in Amtrak style, the original design made by bmjackson81. As there were no instructions, I set out studying these locomotives right here in Beach Grove, IN at the Amtrak depot. One plate and several attempts with many rebuilds, I finally got the shape and size I wanted for my Amtrak Train. Even the coaches I built from scratch, as I couldn't afford the Amtrak set Lego released years ago, besides I had boxes of old Lt Gray to use up ( plus I thought the loco of this set was terrible ) My train now has four coaches and pulls very well with one motor in the diesel, I made sure it could handle the short radius of Lego track in curves. Plus this locomotive is equipped with PF, so I can run a 9V second locomotive on the same track.

These photos are for Murdoch17 and Lazarus, Thanks guys I really enjoyed building and Modding this great looking Train station. All Aboard! Pretty busy inside.........People in line for drinks and a salesman getting a ticket........ Everyone is waiting and relaxing for the next train............ I hope you all like my MOD, C & C welcome..........................my first train structure
-
Murdoch17, I wanted to let you know ( thanks for your file ) that I've built your MOC. It really gives my layout a "Tropical look", so I'm building Palm trees and additional landscaping. I was told that this station looks very similar to an Amtrak one in Orlando, Florida. I hope to have time soon to post pictures here, thanks again to you, and the original author............. Lazarus.

talos, That would be great........... :thumbup: I look forward to your final version and the possibility of you sharing this good looking building. ( I like to build only 2-story buildings, except in my city, Town Hall is the tallest! )
