Engine is spot on, also the way you managed to get the exhaust to sweep round is very good. -

kieran replied to WesternOutlaw's topic in LEGO Train Tech
There are other ways to make an adder, but I agree it will be a challenge with the space that you have, just thought i would throw it in for completeness.- 578 replies

TRAIN TECH Help, General Questions & Talk to the Staff
kieran replied to WesternOutlaw's topic in LEGO Train Tech
The other option if you would like to keep the 2 M motors is to create an adder. This is a type of gear train that allows motors of different speeds to add their torque, here is one example, there are many others out there http://mapageweb.umontreal.ca/cousined/lego/1-Varia/Adder/adder.html- 578 replies

This could be a winner for sure, will not cost loads to build but has lots of very attractive features, nice one -
How to take apart older u-joints?
kieran replied to Junpei's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
agree, a small screwdriver inserted and used to pop the cup over the pin on part will do the job, i have made one good joint from 2 broken ones in the past with this technique. Patience is your friend on this one -
Would it be series or parallel?, i think maybe parallel to keep the voltage to 9V but I like the idea, will sure keep the train chugging for longer

Custom Lego Hot-rod Hearse

Fantastic, I agree with the colour comments of the LEDS, a complete fluke but a nice result -
then what tracks, not 9V I am sure

MOD: 8881 PF Battery Box
kieran replied to dr_spock's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
completely agree this is a good idea, more for nothing think. I still prefer the 9V train transformers as you can set the speed as well, but this looks good and takes up the space of a battery box in a model as well, nice one -
Have you tried connecting the track yet, can you post a pic? how long will it last? is the finished printed result as durable;le as an injection moulded part?

It does seem very odd that these are not on the market yet, most people, when asked would say that bad news is better served with a flow of information. we don weant miss information or no information. LEGO should just come out and say what the plan is, as you say

Its amazing that the only non LEGO in that solution is the screw in the bracket, brilliant

I would try without the loco on the track, do the wheels move then? have you moved the control wheel round lots of times? and when you do does the green light on the receiver flash, it should, if it does not then you are not getting a good signal form the remote to the receiver.

GBC Ball Counter Module
kieran replied to LegoGBC's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I love this, such a good solution using what you have and not just going out and getting new stuff, you should make the app available if not already i bet there are loads of people that would like to play with this. -

Fixing a 9v Lego train motor with a PF lego motor
kieran replied to Lazarus's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Nice set of videos, thanks for sharing. Have you performed any side by side tests of the finished unit against both and unmodified 9V and PF motor, just interested how the finished unit works. -
At the end of the day its you're Lego do what you want with it. I personally like to see the things that people come up with that are not like the normal sets rolled out by Lego. There are loads of posts on this forum about Lego always creating vehicles with technic, so why not a building, can't wait to see what you come up with
