Hello Forum Community, I have no shop . I have no company. I am a private man, like most here . And I have no money too much as most people here . Only the aluminum rail by ME - Models is a good solution , just not perfect Produced I just have one hobby room downstairs in the basement . A small milling machine. And a small lathe. A Good friend is his own boss . He has a small company with his wife, son and two employees. He produced on CNC lathes and CNC milling. Aluminum parts for model builders. It can also produce rails . But it must be interesting for both sides. I can only convey . Mediating I wanted when I asked: " . What would be your wish If you had one wish" Radii calculated. Photos set . After the radius required. Answer switches . I asked : And now the mother of all questions , the Tiresome topic , money . What do you think . How much is worth to you, your dream bend ? And why not more ? And why not less? Answers ? ? ? Not an answer , not one ! I 'm not going to pre-finance . I am a private man . My friend needs to know if he can cover its costs . I have the same interests as you. Good looking rails. I can pay for. Best regards Udo

Hello Forum Community, you have not the railroad ties all at home? You are missing only the rail? A truly accurate profiles? Perhaps one of aluminum? What accuracy of 0.01 mm (0.000393700787 inches) CNC milled. Quality made ​​in Germany.

Hello forum community, Although I have a white beard on his face. But I'm not Santa Claus. On my back I have no wings. I'm not a fairy. I am also not the super boss of Lego. Sorry but at rail switches .......... need her dreams on. Maybe a friend had to help with curves. He has many CNC milling. He was willing curved rails to be milled from aluminum. Similar to ME Models. http://www.me-models...ce8tegb09bk9eb1 The 2 X 8 Lego plates fit. I think it has done himself. We continue to wait until fulfilled predictions of "Ben Fleskes". http://www.bigbenbri...rack/track.html The revolution of 3D printers continues. I always forget. Then you will also rail turnouts printing, no problem. Best regards Udo

Hello railroader , I had in the past few days a lot of time to think . What has come out there , looks like origami work with paper and cardboard. Of course Lego has played an important role. If someone were to ask you. What radius should have curves Lego . What you respond then ? But unfortunately only one radius is possible. Decisions wisely The Lego - standard rail : inside edge of the radius of the cross tie 288 mm, outer radius of the cross tie 352 mm the desire radius standard plus one : inside edge of the radius of the cross tie 416 mm, outer radius of the cross tie 479 mm the desire radius standard plus two : inside edge of the radius of the cross tie 543 mm, outer radius of the cross tie 607 mm the desire radius standard plus three : inside edge of the radius of the cross tie 671 mm, outer radius of the cross tie 735 mm the desire radius standard plus four : inside edge of the radius of the cross tie 798 mm, outer radius of the cross tie 862 mm All figures are calculated. Miscalculation hopefully excluded. Rounded up or rounded all decimal places. Who now believes this is still too small. Diameter for 180 ° return values ​​are in meters. Lego standard ............. 0,703 meters Lego standard plus one 0,958 meters Lego standard plus two 1,214 meters Lego standard plus three 1,469 meters Lego standard plus four 1,724 meters Photos for better understanding The dining table is a little over 2 meter long and a little more than 1 meter wide. The compatibility with the Lego rail would be guaranteed. And now the mother of all questions, the Tiresome topic, money What do you think. How much is worth to you, your dream bend? And why not more ? And why not less ? I am very interested in your answers. Best regards Udo

Hello community, more images to V 100 you can see here: http://www.flickr.co...tos/ust60/sets/ Buongiorno anche dalla Germania verso l'Italia ( Good morning also from Germany to Italy ) I am somewhat amused LEGO Train 12 Volts, already 10 Downloads in 15 hours, but only with you can I thank you for your comment. I am glad that you like it. Cordiali saluti Udo

This one does a picture of the V 100 provides: And will the download does not work anymore (there), you have the possibility to load the Lego DD file down. But beware the LDD file is not perfect, it has it improved. I wish you much fun if you do builds. Best regards Udo V 100 7 W.lxf

Hello Alain, Hello community, I have a feeling . ( How to say it in German . ) " You've tasted blood ". Specifies the translation to make sense. I'm trying to count time . As long as you do the wheels only for their own use , everything is OK . But for friends, maybe more . But for others ? A cleaning lady . A job can make everyone . Worth about 10 , - € / hour. You're doing a job for specialists at the lathe . You'd earn a lot more than the cleaning lady. An afternoon for six wheels. One afternoon , how many hours? Two , three or four hours? 30, - to 40, - € plus contacts? Do you think there are many people . They can pay as much . Currently I am without a job . It would please me well . If I by the production of wheels. My own boss would . And I go to work only in the basement must . I think that's the thing with supply and demand. I have asked my edging . Den with own company . With the many CNC machines. What do you like , what it would cost a wheel ? Maybe ...... Possibly ........... approx ......... I do not know .......... 2, - € or 3, - € or more. I 'd have to know exactly expect That was a very concrete answer. And I think that was the price for acquaintances. Below the shop Teke . Not Official with taxes. Had he called a price less than one euro . Had I asked . When can I pick up 200 pieces ? In your contact problems . Did you have only a couple grinder ? Or two pairs grinder ? I think the dropout voltage supply. If less with more sanders couples. Best regards Udo

Hello Alain, Hello community , Your roll tires look very good . Very good hand job? Or CNC ( Computerized Numerical Control) Can you tell me this, please explain in more detail. quote: On one of my locos , I used some Commercially available copper sliding contacts . Unfortunately, They Proved to be too unreliable for feeding a DCC chip ; They are good enough for wagon lighting , though. In any case , I would say thinner is better . Alain please . For the translation program . Short Set. Simple words . The more I think . The more I am uncertain . I 'm not sure . Tires or tires. Tires pros and cons : Pro: Your look very good . ? ? More Augmente I have not. Contra : A drive unit needs four metal wheels. Four metal wheels , poor traction. Or two drive units, a metal shaft , a plastics axis , better traction. Alloy wheels are very specifically . Alloy wheels are not priced . Sliding contacts pros and cons : Pro: Easy to Obtain . Very Inexpensive . No tools install (only Allen wrench, no lathe, no soldering iron ) Contra : Doubt rails are damaged. Where and how to install the drive unit I registered in a forum. For " Carrera racetracks " Slot Racing logged . Time listening to what they can say to wear. Best regards Udo Almost forgot, my friend says. Standard alloy of Al, Cu, Mg, Pb. Aluminum, copper, magnesium, lead Aluminium, Kupfer, Magnesium , Blei ( plumbum )

Hello Alain, I get the feeling that speaks to me a professional , the rolling tires made ​​of aluminum are currently only a test . My lathe is more than twenty-five years old, the angle of the wheel flange , I tried from original Lego wheels " off take" ( to copy ), the angle of the tread is created only by "gut feeling ," he is at the moment too large. And also to aluminum quality, I can not really tell you something . A good friend of mine is self ( he himself is the boss in his company ) he produced there model components made of aluminum , with him I get to talk some aluminum off-cuts , unfortunately the rest of pieces because the CNC lathes work getting smaller as economically as possible . What aluminum alloy it is, I do not know , I have to read my that the , or a high , " SILIZIUM " share , is responsible for the hardness. Since you come from Antwerp , the city ESSEN in Germany is reachable for you , look sacrament here on these pages : http://www.wmh.de/produkte.html I found this on the fast : Available materials / aluminum alloys EN AW 5083 Al Mg4 , Mn0 5 , 7 EN AW 6082 Al Mg Si 1 Mn EN AW 6061 Al Si Cu Mg 1 EN AW 7020 Al Zn4 , 5 Mg1 EN AW 6023 Al Mg Si Sn Bi EN AW 2007 Al Cu4 Pb Mg Mn EN AW 4032 Al Si12 Mg Ni Aleco 62Sn I think there will be something there , what concerns me at the moment , how much of your experience after the copper sheet for the sliding contacts should be? I think about 0.2 or 0.25 mm at the time, I have in the basement just a piece in the thickness of 0.5 mm , and that's me too stiff ( too thick) The rolling tires are a great thing , I became aware of it for the first time in 2011 , as a member of this forum has made me aware of this fellow : http://www.brickshel....cgi?m=mirekend or you know the work of Mireck already : Hopefully the picture forum is compliant Best regards Udo

Hello Bricktrix, now that I have found your pictures on Flickr I see that many of the things I've known for years, and worship are all from one source, that's incredible. One and the same man is behind all these wonderful conserve models. Your style as you build the diesel is brilliant, many of the images I wonder how are the Lego parts connected? I feel like the amateur to a professional looks for the first time over his shoulder. It's a little embarrassing. When I first time pictures from the album seen : " Corfe Castle Station display working diary ", it was immediately clear this is a countryside in England. I had to inevitably think of the television show for children: "The little locomotive Thomas and friends". Your works are really very very great work. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Udo

Hello community, So the copper cables to supply that should not be the final solution, but when I had the wheels on the axles, it has given me so much itching in the fingers to see 88002 ride on the rails, which I unceremoniously the leads to the motor have from isolated. Career in the coming days, under appropriate thin copper plate looking to then cut reasonable sliding contacts (pantograph) of it, but the copper wire proves how simple can solve the problem. I wonder if it makes more sense to use a harder metal than aluminum, so that the sliding contacts do not wear the ALU wheels, but intended it still requires some testing on the lathe to the moment I'm not sure if I the geometry of my tires already like. Otherwise would probably be harder alloy wheels damage the 9 volt rails and in the longer term too expensive. Best regards Udo

Hello Duke, actually I thought I knew the pages of "Philo" (that was my mistake) you're right, according to Philo, the 9 volt motor with 9 Volt really a torque of 0.90 N.cm and the PF motor 88002 has 9 volt "only" a torque of 0.85 N.cm Unfortunately, I am not a physicist and an engineer in mechanical engineering. Perhaps explained by the differences of the other numeric values ​​such as " Mechanical power in watts ", " Electric power in watts " or from the Efficiency indicating in my language " Wirkungsgrad in % " how much of the absorbed energy is really converted to power my statement: " ." is how much the PF motor ( 88002 ) is faster and greater than " When I look at the experimental setup of Philo I think that your statement " I do believe that under load the PF will provide better torque over distance because it has it's power on board, as opposed to 9V battery current near the points attached to the track that dips the further the motor is from those points " is not correct Did you watch the two videos? Here there are two locomotives on 9 volt rails , the yellow locomotive with two 9 volt motors receives power through the rails from the transformer , just the red loco with two engines 88002 she gets the power from the transformer on the rails ! The same conditions for both locomotives , only the red locomotive is faster it closes the gap to the yellow locomotive , even though the red locomotive pulls four small cars. What do you mean what to say / write? The yellow locomotive is indeed slow but has the more powerful 9 volt motors ? Best regards Udo PS: In the second video , the not so good traction Homemade corrupted ( rolling tires ) metal on metal the result. I do not know how I can display the differences in the performance otherwise clearly without laboratory equipment by Philo.

(Why missing the last sentence ) <p><span id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1">

Hello community , is how much the PF motor ( 88,002 ) is faster and greater than the old 9-volt motor ( 10153 ) Can you see in the video here: <span lang="en">http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=63596 In the first video , the yellow locomotive runs with two old 9 volt motors , the red with two PF 88002 , both engines get their power through the rails , and although the red locomotive pulls wagons it is faster than the yellow locomotive. The second video explains the watch by itself. The PF motor on metal wheels is without weight, slower than the 9 volt motor, it has the worse traction (metal on metal ) he has to carry weights it is faster than the 9 volt motor . Enjoy the video . Hello Lazarus your videos are very good. But only now with the photos I have really understood how the engine needs to be edited . On the subject of durability and quality of the engines , many of my friends say that the quality has diminished even with the 9 volt motors , only the very old motors of the series were really good engines.

Hello community, unfortunately my English is not always better. So I have to use the Google translator. I deliberately "brought from the bottom up" this old post. Even though, now missing all pictures who wants to see the pictures again, here you can watch it again: The name of the album is in German: " Antriebsumbau auf PF 88002 " (Drive Conversion to PF 88002) http://www.flickr.com/photos/ust60/sets/ New video is here: " LEGO locomotive drive of a different kind VII " Enjoy the View Best regards Udo

Hello Steamtrain72, the builder of the fantastic beautiful BR-01 is "Teddy" (see above in this post in his signature is a BR-01 click once on it), the colleague LEGO Train 12 Volts only has the original a "copy" created exactly as I, you'll have no choice but to count stones and studs has led me to a Respektalem result as you on: http://www.1000steine.de/de/gemeinschaft/forum/?entry=1&id=3379 # id3379 can see. Best regards Udo aka ust60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hallo Steamtrain72, der Erbauer der Traumhaft schönen BR-01 ist " Teddy " ( siehe weiter oben in diesem Beitrag in seiner Signatur ist eine BR-01 klick mal drauf ) ,der Kollege LEGO Train 12 Volts hat nur von der Original eine " Kopie " erstellt genau wie ich, Du wirst nicht umhinkommen Steine und Noppen zu Zählen hat bei mir auch zu einem Respektalem Ergebnis geführt, wie du auf : http://www.1000steine.de/de/gemeinschaft/forum/?entry=1&id=3379#id3379 sehen kannst. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Udo alias ust60

All pictures on http://www.flickr.com/photos/ust60/ Best regards Udo

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW have been really wonderful, I would also like behind my steam locomotive, my respect for your design Best regards Udo

Hallo peterab, Excuse me because I made a mistake when uploading. This picture is better than explanation. on the photograph is a fixing to view,( in the red circle ) the second fixing is hidden ( red arrow ) The upper and lower "pipe" through 3 are self-made aluminum parts fixed Best regards Udo

Hello forum community, Hallo Lego Gay Bri, is your question answered? With the declaration of peterab because of my poor knowledge of English, I have not understood your question Please formulate your question again different, if it is still not answered, so that I can answer you Thank you Hallo peterab, on the photograph is a fixing to view,( in the red circle ) the second fixing is hidden ( red arrow ) The upper and lower "pipe" through 3 are self-made aluminum parts fixed Mit freundlichen Grüßen Udo

Hello forum community, four months have passed. since I've presented here some of mine. Can you remember. I was in love with BR-01 from Teddy. Love like a schoolboy. Now 34 orders later (at BrickLink) sees my BR-01 is made of. It is still not really Complete. But I would imagine though. And if you think this is a nice floor model for the showcase Look at the videos Best regards Udo Sorry for my poor language skills

look here Sincerely, Udo

Hallo Teddy, it's great, that you present yourself, I did not have the courage, you to write to, in your BR 01, I am in love, (Like a school boy) when I saw her the first time. Thank you, that you, the image, have revised. Now I understand better your design, I hope in a few weeks or several months, I can finish my own BR 01. Maybe not as beautiful as your original, but my, inspired by your beautiful original. Can I contact you again, and hope for help when I need help again ? es ist großartig, das du dich meldest, ich hatte nicht den Mut, dich an zu schreiben, in deine BR 01, habe ich mich verliebt, ( wie ein Schuljunge ) als ich sie das erste Mal gesehen habe. Danke, dass du, das Bild, überarbeitet hast. Jetzt verstehe ich, deine Konstruktion besser, ich hoffe in einigen Wochen, oder einigen Monaten, werde ich meine eigene BR 01 fertigstellen können. Vielleicht nicht so schön wie dein Original, aber meine, an deinem schönen Original angelehnt. Kann ich, dich noch einmal kontaktieren, und auf Hilfe hoffen wenn ich noch mal Hilfe brauche ? Mit freundlichen Grüßen Udo

Buon Natale for you LEGO Train 12 Volts My compliments, this is a great model, enviable Sincerely, Udo

Hello forum community, I am glad that you like my engine. The easiest question to answer. How much do they cost? € 105.70 Share on the subject I've ever see written here LDD MOC: German Shunting Locomotive And here, too. Barman's Lego Power Functions-Controlled Train Switch I hope that these models you might like. Hopefully they are more stable than the model built by me yesterday, it was very unstable. I felt ten times in the basement Sent, and twenty times to the attic. To get stones and parts to improve old stones and parts of the engine (to strengthen). Sincerely, Udo
