Excellent train set, just how I remember NSB. Now the railway situation in Norway is just a mess (it's always been problematic but the politicians seems to always making it worse). I have so far not used "non-LEGO" bricks (I do have a mix of different tracks though)in my sets but I built a BR103 set that needs tan train window frames...

The amount of details in your MOC's @FlammerFimeare excellent, simple and detailed at the same time. I love the tender you made.

It's been a while I started this topic and I have made some progress (I have something called work and family taking me away from LEGO) This is my latest addition of my 12v/9v hybrid, it's basically a crossover using 12v switch-points, the only parts modified sans the copper tape/foil is the connectors on the RC tracks LEGO trains 12v 9v Hybrid Switch-point

Thanks, ultimately I want to have all system run on all tracks types. Right now I have a few loops in good old 12v and the main ballasted one is 9v.

Thanks, fun to hear that you have the same experience, it really does make the layout less fiddly, now I just need something for R56 rails

Hello, long time lurker but never contributed anything. I been considering ideas to let my 12v trains also use the 9v/RC tracks and one of the problems was to make the 12v curved rails fit I guess other people have tried this to, but I realize by removing in total 4 stud I would get a snug fit and also a more convenient way to build track layouts. I also modified some straight tracks to be able to connect them with 12v rails switch points etc... I made as short video showing the process using cheap RC tracks and the next step would be using copper tape (and I need a extra set of 9v contact points) for the 9v system, not sure if I want to tape the 12v switch track but I guess I can test it out on a "broken" track. I thought that traction could be a problem but it seems to handle it well (test drive at the end of the video), there is some spinning when starting the train with "high" voltage but at soon as it moves it's coping quite well.

Hi @bluewing I guess you found info about you question online by now but just in case: The mold point was moved from the side and to the stud in '74 and until 1980 both types where in production. Regarding the reinforced plates I do not know. Check this link for some info about mold types.

Thank you, appreciate it.

Hello! I would love it if my username could be changed to "Pastajensen" as it's the name I use for my online presence (discord, YT etc...).

If I only found out earlier.. I would have asked my father to keep the lego. What was not eaten by the coming generation was thrown away (In my dark ages).

Remember playing with this stuff as a kid when visiting my grandfather, it was a mix of old and new lego probably belonged to my uncle/aunt/father in the 60´s Lack of clutching power and strange windows made me think it was some cheap look-alike. Being used to the town and space-sets in the 80´s.

I like it, but pro account does not make much sense anymore.

Wow... This is really impressive! I'm at loss of word.

Ended up buying the 10240 Red five X-wing from S@H. So much for being sensible

I didn't sit on the fence for a long time, ordered it and looking forward to start build it next week. Not too happy about the cockpit stickers but I'll manage (cannot be worse than UCS Y-wing). Anyhow.. I suspect Rufus being a sales representative from TLG, I seem to end up buying the sets he gives a good review.
