    Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

    Thank you! Again if this goes well at the shows this year I would like to " finish out the scenery" and almost all would be hidden. So right now we are talking about having it be an extention off the side of the rail yard to give more movement to it. (Full layout is still in planning stages) however I built this to be a stand alone or you can rearrange the rear enterance (back half of the loop) to what ever layout we need. I can even move everything to make it a stub yard with team track (since scenery is not finalized) I've thought about signals In and Out of both ends of the yard however currently you need permission from the Yard Master before any movement is made. There are a couple remote yards near me that operate this way. Train stops at Yard Limit sign and radios for permission. I wouldnt mind adding a low led ground light ... Perhaps tied to a simple on off switch where off is red on is green. . . I will keep that in mind for sure!

    Yes the FTA ships escorted by Toucan are missing their DBs as well ... But for some reason the Escort ship does have DBs (Bastion - Charlatan Bay)

    @Ayrlego Congrats your post has been Front Paged!

    Could you please keep me informed in your findings on this? I work on Fanuc Robots at work and would love to ask our rep about this as our last robots only generated a movable plastic replica (non lego). Do these have a set number?

    Recently fellow Eurobricker Ayrlego shared his latest build in the settlement of Port Woodhouse, as part of the Bretheren of the Brick Seas game in the Pirate Forums March on over to see what those Redcoats are up to post haste!

    Thank you ... I will watch for this next time.

    Update ... Controls built! So my build time was mostly consumed by construction of the controls. You'll notice there are only five controls instead of 7 ... to manually throw (via my attached cylinder) the decoupler and switch on my storage track for now and run air back to them late 'll I decided to Use a manifold to . disconnect for transport. The decoupling levers are on top the point levers are on the bottom

    Charlatan Bay to Quinnsville Edit ... May have been bastion ... Cant remember currently

    My trade fleet led by Rababs Gambit made 0 profit but there is no reason listed?

    Am I the only one eagerly awaiting the KPA like a dog with a biscuit on his nose patiently waits for a treat?

    Your Tony's son?

    Is the sheep your own design or one you saw somewhere? Normally brick built animals dont play well with minifigs but these are spot on lol.
  14. Roadmonkeytj
    looking forward to this!

    This actually fits quite well as an EL train. How did you achieve the micro trolly on the building ?
  16. Roadmonkeytj
    Thanks for sharing these are neat and his work is awesome
  17. Roadmonkeytj
    Breathtaking view ... Good interpretation on the train as well!

    Update. Got the switches refined and working. Also boosted the system pressure to 20psi and added a fourth air tank. I added a connection point to disconnect the air lines between floors, unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the way I did the air lines. Originally I had borrowed the design ALCO had shared, however I could not get it to switch smoothly. So I reworked it and came up with this: (click for video) Heres a lil dissasembly to give you an Idea of how I did it.
  19. Roadmonkeytj
    So the decoupler ran just fine at 10psi ... I bumped the system to 20 psi (kicks back on at 10) with 4 air tanks. I can get 4 switches of the track or 6 of the decoupler before the pump kicks back on. No worries please do use ... Did you see I had to add a half bushing to the catch rods? Thanks again for the help.

    So here is the set up I tried to mimic off yours. I actually added another band to the compressor and its running 20 psi with four air tanks. Click it for the video. So this is what I had to do to make it work for me. Same psi same switch. I tried all 8 switches (new never used). Click for video Would love to see your solution to this!
  21. Roadmonkeytj
    Thank you its a clever little build.
  22. Roadmonkeytj
    Would you be able to do a render of just your MOW train ... Just realized it was in there lol!
  23. Roadmonkeytj
    Thanks! Thank you ... so this is compressor that hodcarrier linked in the other thread I have added two more air tanks and the gauge read 10psi before it clicked off. (Im using a single white band currently) I was able to switch the decoupler back and forth about 10 times before it needed to run again. Unfortunately it was late by the time I got it assembled so I did not get to test the switch yet. I only get a few hours a week to work on this.

    Thanks. However this was designed so that you can add multiple player modules to have a infinately larger game and not be tied to a table top. You can actually hold this and play ... So the mechanism is fairly simple. The levers are spaced and stagared so you can hover you finger over the top lever but still select the bottom with barely any movement. Also you can construct a base around the unit to better hide your choices if you desire. Originally I had done this but it made the module more clumsy to hold and play. These litterally ride around in my truck with me and can be played anywhere!

    Greetings all! I am happy to announce my Ideas project launched! What is it you ask? You simply pick one of the three levers to display your choice of Rock, Paper, or Scissors. Hopefully you can beat your opponent as well. I would love if you could support this or comment any improvement you might see! >>> Click Here for IDEA'S page <<< Rock! Paper! Scissors! Each player gets a module And a short video.
