    That wasnt a literal question...
  2. Spitfire2865
    True, but how does one decide when to bump or create a new topic?
  3. Spitfire2865
    Its unavoidable. People just refuse to listen to rules. Or common sense.

    This is beautiful. Nice use of tubing.

    I would suggest you dont do Lego outside. There was an article here about that a while ago by Locomotive Annie I think. Well, if you are dead set on doing lego outdoors, you will want to find an alternative track system rather than the Lego brand track. Sunlight does horrible things to Lego.
  6. Spitfire2865
    Oh very nice. What brand are those side steps? They look interesting.

    Couldnt you just use the loco to power the train? The EN was designed to be used with a PF motor in the cab. And to answer the question, a PF train bogie motor has all the gearing in the bogie itself. But if you want to use XL motors with gearing for the bogies, The vertical drive axle acts as the pivot in MOST if not all designs. I dont understand your question entirely, so if what Im saying doesnt help at all, Im sorry. Oh, and your link to the flickr page doesnt work. It would help if you had some pictures of the issue you are having as your description is a bit hard to follow.

    Thanks. When I built my general, I built the boiler studs up and the taper used a lot of cheese slopes and jumper plates. If I get around to rebuilding it, I will have to use your design. I just love your loco.

    No, I was just curious. I would love to buy some but I need money. Haha. Model railroading is an expensive hobby, Lego is as well.
  10. Spitfire2865
    Simply amazing. I love all the little details. The bell caught my eye. Amazing use of handcuffs.
  11. Spitfire2865
    This is very beautiful. It makes me want to finish my long overdue General. What part did you use for the boiler taper?
  12. Spitfire2865
    Gota look at bricklink then. Thanks!
  13. Spitfire2865
    I dont understand your explanation of the fabrication. But other than that, how strong are they?
  14. Spitfire2865
    Very nice. I love almost any steam powered device.

    Its just mint implies never used. If you said its condition was like mint, then it would have made more sense. But it was my reading that was misleading.

    Lego doesnt sell CMF parts, and I need the hooks in dark or light grey.
  17. Spitfire2865
    Exactly what are they made of? 3D printing? Or a lego mod? They look very nice and I can see them being useful in almost any build.
  18. Spitfire2865
    If its mint then why can you check the quality of the clutch? And also mint implies no use or wear. While lego usually is played with, anything with use would show wear. And the brick plastic has changed. But it doesnt mean its bad. Lego, over the years, has changed to safer chemicals for the plastic and dyes. And personally, I dont care if my clear bricks are crystal clear or not. Usually I cant tell anyway. Haha

    Does Lego still produce pirate hook hands? Im wondering if it would be of any use to contact them for about 20 hooks. I dont really want to use bricklink or ebay.
  20. Spitfire2865
    All lego tracks are the same size in length and width. The 4.5V tracks can be connected to 12V tracks. 9V, PF, and RC tracks are all able to connect to eachother. But 9V uses metal conducting strips on the rails.
  21. Spitfire2865
    IMHO those look horribly unsafe. XD

    Well any rechargeable battery will loose its charge strength over time. So its bound to happen. But I have not noticed anything...but I dont run my trains often enough to see any difference. If anything its probably with use. The more times it is recharged the less any rechargeable battery will hold. I think thats how it works..
  23. Spitfire2865
    Double decker coaches wouldnt look right with an articulated steamer. But it does need some type of coaches.
  24. Spitfire2865
    Very nice.

    North American trains I dont believe ever used buffers. But I guess the decline in buffer use be attributed to the widespread change to special couplings for passenger trains. I know US freight trains still use knuckle couplings though.
