Hahaha I really like your #1 rule. And good luck with your snake train design!

Is there any chance that we can see your idea? Im curious exactly how you linked them all together.

These look beautiful.

I would love to contribute! I just would have to find time.

I already said that a while ago. In a way I got it right. So Victory to Spit!

Every 2 axles are articulated? This is my final guess as I just give up now XD

Beautiful. And functional!

Yeah my brain is thinking about this way too much.

Glue? No I was thinking I could just use friction by drilling a slightly smaller hole. What rubber seals?

The...flanges...umm. I give up xD Cant wait for pictures!

Hmm..if I really wanted to use the motor I may be able to make my own adapter with a 2L cross peg and a small drill. Ok then...thats another thing on my long hobby to-do list. Haha

Damn..Gimme another guess. A LOT of blind drivers! Super easy turns! All blind drivers and the pilot and trailing trucks are supporting it all.

Ohhh I see my problem. My motor doesnt have that black axle bit at the end. Its just a 1mm thick peg. I guess its useless to me then. Haha.

Every axle can pivot?

Umm isnt that a 4.5V motor? Or 12V or something. On my motor the end has a thin axle peg. Its about 1 mm thick or so. I would love to be able to use it but idk..Im probably just stupid and not seeing the obvious. Could you show me a picture of your motor disconnected from everything? If its already in the loco dont bother. I just dont know if My motor is missing something or not. I got it from a friend so I have no idea.

How do you attach the axle to the motor? I have that motor but I cant figure it out. Haha. Sorry if it double posts. It seems my comment wasnt submitted.

Im guna jump into the conversation! This is very nice. Hopefully the counterweights will keep it from tipping in fast turns.

Very nice. So Im guessing youll build another module now? I say link up the top layer to the layout. Im curious how you will deal with the incline.

Very nice little loco.

Well seeing as O and Lego scales are so close together when it comes to trains, You could build a Lego body shell of whatever shell the mech came off of. It sounds like, even with the limited collection you still own, its still impressive and interesting. And I would love to see some pictures of them.

Its probably a stupid question but does it have actual wheels? I cant see anything on the underside. And it seems a bit low to the ground.

Ive found the magnets to do that as well. Though its quite easy to fix. I usually rotate it along the axis parallel to the track a bit. That seems to fix it. It is a minor inconvenience but I dont usually get a chance to run any of my Lego trains so I dont really care. But for those who DO run Lego trains on a layout, It could be a problem for "hands off" operation.

DO IT! Thats an amazing idea. What voltage does Lionel run with anyway? I cant seem to remember. It could potentially run with 9V with some modification. I still have all my O scale things. I cant sell them. Too much sentimental value to me. And yay you like tea.

This is beautiful. And nice custom rails too.

Yes it is! You just need to set the PF receivers to the same channel. But if you are to have more than 2 trains running, I would recommend 2 controllers. It could help keep track of which train is being controlled. Just so you dont have to keep switching between frequencies. And yes, we all have been infected with Train-itis. Its an incurable disease. It compels us to build and/or buy more trains. And now you are one of us! Muahahahha
