    Thanks for the detailed reply. Goodbye SBrick, hello 4DBrix!!!

    That is such great news!!! From that photo that you posted, is that a genuine Lego train motor attached to the bogie? And is your "control unit" running via bluetooth? I'm just trying to work out how multiple trains could work if it's wifi or another protocol.

    The only thing I can see as missing is a way to control the motors in my trains from the nControl software. Or am I missing something? I'd be happy to invest in your products at this stage, but, I just can't work out that missing piece of the puzzle. Keep up the great work though!

    You truly are almighty, Arjen!!!

    Ha! I never thought of that before and your logic makes perfect sense. Indeed 32 doesn't divide into 3! I always figured that it was a software limitation with BB and I just lived with items not lining up properly. I now have to go play with BB and see if I can update my layout designs, Thanks for the tip!

    Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but, I was wondering if there are any updates to SBrick that haven't been reported here? Has the slider/stop issue been resolved? How is the performance with multiple bricks/trains running in one profile? Are many folks (apart from @zephyr1934 and the others mentioned in this thread) using an SBrick for controlling their trains (or any other part of their train layout)? I was thinking about purchasing a couple of them, but, considering their price, I wanted to get the "lay of the land" before committing.

    That is such a unique video!!! And I was wondering the same thing as Beck - did the cold temperature affect the train in any way?
  8. Younge
    Yep, that portal window is spot on!
  9. Younge
    Looks quite accurate. Well done!!!

    In one of your videos I seem to remember seeing some sensors being used. Are they still on the cards? Where I want to go with my layout you sort of alluded to in the following post: 12 volt-era equivalent parts is what I have been hoping/wishing for. I have started getting all the bits and pieces together to build up a 12-volt layout, but I soon found the cost of some of the parts to be prohibitive - and general life expenses getting in the way of a Lego train project (that's the wife talking!). There's also the risk of parts becoming more and more scarce and therefore even more expensive in the future. Your system has the potential of being better than the 12-volt system as we won't be as locked down as that system was by the fact that we can use controllers like Arduino. Also, nothing is stopping you from inventing various add-ons down the track (such as proximity sensors). We also get the added benefit of mobility with a tablet device (if wanted). De-couplers, switches, lights, motor controls - this is all going in a fantastic direction, and one appreciated by those of us that aren't as technically-minded as some of the other people on this forum.

    Well done!!! Looks awesome. Getting closer and closer to what I want/need for my layout. Keep up the great work!!!

    *Drool* Want this sooooooooooooo bad!!!
  13. Younge
    Ahhhh, great idea! Didn't think of remote desktop as a solution to going mobile with this. The excuses to not buy this setup are quickly diminishing (although, I would still like the lights that have been posted earlier in this forum :hint :hint).
  14. Younge
    Awesome! Thanks for hosting the Railbricks issues!

    Congratulations on the new website guys! As others have said, it would be great to get some instructions and/or some LXF files on the site to replicate some of the great MOC's that are out there, and, having a repository for the Railbricks magazines would be awesome (not sure if I grabbed the last couple). Keep up the great work, and, hopefully I can contribute something to the website myself in the future!

    Fantastic looking trains! I especially like the lights at the front - very clever!!!
  17. Younge
    Upcoming Lego Train Set? Hardly!
  18. Younge
    Very clever. Well done!

    I am loving where you are going with all of this, from the controllers to the monorail stuff you are working on. Is there any way that we can get our hands on that nControl software at the moment? I would love to just play around with it to say what is possible with it. Keep up the great work!!!
  20. Younge
    Fantastic layout. I especially like the train station!
  21. Younge
    Great looking bridge and a great solution to joining the two sections of scaffold/"frame" (55767) together. I have a similar style bridge at home (nowhere near as detailed) and had all sorts of issues trying to join the pieces together in a sturdy way, without looking silly (I ended up using some Technic pins joined by some 2x4 tiles).
  22. Younge
    Yep, I just realised Rich! I think I was confused when I was watching your video because your layout is the same as mine, so I think I just saw what I wanted to see - if that makes sense. Hmmm, might need to think about this a bit more before I make a change.
  23. Younge
    I just discovered this topic and it's great to see the various "drafts" you have done to get to the final MOC. The first version was pretty good, but, the latest version really is the best one. You have really done a good job! Keep up the great work and would love to see other sections of your layout coming together.
  24. Younge
    This is just awesome, Rich! This is the idea for my layout - only in 12 volts (actually, your layout in the video is virtually the same as mine). But now that I have seen what you have been able to do with Arduino and 9V I am re-thinking my plans. I have plenty of 9V motors and track (just need some switching points) so it should be a bit cheaper than sourcing old 12 volt stuff. I am going to check out your other videos to see if I can answer this next question, but, the thing I am perplexed about with your video is how you are getting one train to stop whilst another is running on the same 9 volt track. I thought this was impossible! Hopefully you already have this covered in one of your other videos. BTW, the video production quality is great. As someone who has some experience with this, I can see quality when I see it, and your effort is outstanding.

    Great idea for a great train!!!! Keep on keeping the grey era alive!!!
