    Any volatile fuel will dissolve Lego plastic. I would recommend recommend testing it out side at a safe distance as likely to explode in a fireball.

    Now converted to 3 x8T gear design and ran OK but train would not reverse ! Due to the extra gear in the drive chain the axles were running wrong way, and trip beams were in wrong position Simple - fix just had to change the small black pole c/o switch on the PF switch to the other direction and reverses OK now. Tested with my new unloader module with fresh batteries and a 30 ball load & works well.

    I have always used the original Akiyuki Type 2 version, didn't realise Courbet version was different to Akiyuki version. I have made a summery of the different type 2's that can be used:- Version Motor type Output speed of axles gearing train overall gear Ratio 1/ Akiyuki original version M motor 1.66 x motor speed = Fastest 20 -12-12 1.66 step up 2/. Courbet version M motor Same as motor speed 8-8-8-12-12 1:1 3/ tOmster / Doug72 version M motor output speed 1:0.6 = Slowest 12-20 0.6 step down 4/ Doug72 version L Motor 1.66 x motor speed = Fastest 20-12 1:1.66 step up

    Here's an image of the Ver 2 slow version, originally made by tOmster. and slight mod by me using a 20T DBGgear. The thin 20T tan gears can bump slightly over point / track switches. IMG_7785

    See page 35 GBC Train thread.

    Ver 2 train car can be slowed down using z20 thin tan gears and a M motor as shown in BBC train thread I have used this in my through rotary upper module. Various Other mods have improved Ver 2, biggest issue is obtaining the old PF switch.

    Re weak coupling magnets, a common problem due magnetic poles in the two magnets are out of alignment with each other. The magnets can shift / rotate inside the coupling housings Rotate one coupling relative to the other one it is connecting to until you feel the pull get stronger, the magnets need to have their poles aligned for full strength.

Shops with stocks can go ahead and sell the sets they have BUT stocks will not be replenish. https://www.change.org/p/lego-fans-urge-the-lego-group-tlg-to-release-the-lego-technic-set-42113-bell-boeing-v-22-osprey/u/27367047?cs_tk=At6GkL-IJhCOQ4tAHl8AAXicyyvNyQEABF8BvMt-wuqT_STnRN1WkolOHEE%3D&utm_campaign=605ca86be78c49249d963b86d248bdf9&utm_content=initial_v0_4_0&utm_medium=email&utm_source=petition_update&utm_term=cs

    Lego should re-brand it as a AW609 Tilt Rotor version which is a civilian version with parts in a new contents box without any reference to Boeing.
  19. doug72
    The AW609 tiltrotor aircraft is the civilian cousin of the larger, military V-22 Osprey, aimed at corporate aviation, search and rescue operations, and oil rig transport. ... The AW609 can fly at 320 mph; most helicopters top out around 170 mph.7 Feb 2018

    When I click on your image all I see is dark parts against a black background !!!! You need to use a better way to post images - see FAQs Same with all black bogie - very hard to see details, best to use different colour parts to show better how it is built.

    It would be a good idea if you included a photo of the actual completed model in your 1st. Post instead of directing people to rebrickable.

    I went to Shildon Lego show last year and made a short video of this Lego Train Set up. Very impressive and the best at the show.

    HOW NOT TO BREAK DOWN & STORE LEGO ! I have two crates like this which I am storing since my grandson grew out of Lego. Contents are many years of Lego presents at Xmas & birthdays. On the plus side its proving a source of parts I sometimes required but a pain to sort through.
