This part lol minus the front truck and "cow catcher"

While not the scale I was looking for this is simply fantastic... But the LDD link seems to be broken? If it's OK with you I would love to build this for our up coming train show in December.

This thread has become the WIP thread for my switching puzzle see the updates for specific posts or feel free to browse the whole thread! Comments are welcomed! Original Post: So after a trip to the local train club (scale trains n, ho, S, O) basically think a large room with about 12 different layouts running. One of the club members created a 4x2 HO switching puzzle and it was a lot of fun. I know I've seen switching puzzles at model RR shows but I haven't seen any in the Lego world. So I've been reading through decoupling and other tricks that have been posted. My question comes... Has anyone had any luck with switching puzzles in Lego at shows? Did they go over well or was it more hassle then it's worth? Current form: Updates:

I really like this ... Your other cars are amazing as well but this "engine" is sweet

I love it... I may borrow your front clip on the bus design for standard driven bus

I like the power plant car!

Very nice indeed I like all the movement in this

Looking forward to today's games!

This is very well composed and you are using great technique keep it up!

Threaten to take away their pineapples! Lol maybe that will help

Nice little shunter ... Now it it were only steam lol all joking aside I think you did a clever Job at hiding the components all in one unit. Even if you had to use tape lol

I'm really liking this direction with the WWI

The hawks are undefeated so far... Interesting... Loving the commentary as well.

Is it a personal foul if you kick the baby and the ball together through the goal?

very nice to keep the heathens in line lol

@Capt Wolf If the messenger has arrived in time before she's gone to print please include the following notice:

I've use phreds method and before I've used two other methods that work quite well. This is the closest to the real thing I've come up with. I have been wanting to try the string gear method but haven't wanted to jam a bar in the wheel lol The rudder is chain driven This was fairly reliable but I modified later to this: The chain drive needs to to be crossed to work The only issue is the wheel needs to be centered to the Axel which I accomplished with the old clutch bushings Another overall shot of the drive

This was quite well composed... Good job. The song at the end who's the artist?

This looks like a swell ship of the line

I agree this looks quite well done indeed and I would love to see a video of the whole display as well... I'm assuming that's a gold train running the track?

I assure you good sir that the tower walls are several meters thick and quite impenetrable. Thanks for the compliment glad you liked it!

Congrats on your title looking forward to your response build

I wish you the best of luck... Would love to see a line of 1920's rolling stock and tracktive power!
