Maybe you can do a video on the proper pronounciation of your nickname. People called me Dr. Spock in high school. Not sure why but it stuck through the years.

ROYAL screw up - can I recolor black Lego parts?

You could try a black color vinyl dye for plastics. -

I don't think it is necessary to stock up on PF at this time. Some times having extra PF train motor, battery box and receiver around can be helpful if you're into building your own trains.

I think the changes were to make it easier and safer for children to operate. With PF your kids don't have to plug in the power transformer into an AC outlet. You don't have to troubleshoot electrical contact problems with PF rails. Power Functions may not go away. It may morph from line of sight infrared to radio like bluetooth or 2.4 GHz receivers. It'll probably depend when component prices for bluetooth or wifi goes down to match infrared prices.

Welcome aboard. Is it Arriva red or blue GTW you want to build? I think the 7938 passenger train can be easily MOD into a Stadler GTW.

LEGO NXT Problem
dr_spock replied to dr_spock's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try LEGO customer service and see what they say. I don't have the original purchase receipt anymore. It's not hard for me change out the capacitor myself. I found a local place that sells them for less $1 each. Did you have to pay for shipping of the NXT back to LEGO? -
Tried to make stickers for my new MOC and the printer is not co-operating.

Best to buy within your own country. Customs is hit or miss. Some times it seems like they randomly check my stuff.

Do you wait to build with your LEGO until 30 minutes after you eat?
dr_spock replied to legoman19892's topic in Community
That would seriously mess up our LUG meetings since we meet at local eateries. -
Are you a collector, MODer, or MOCer?

I MOC mostly. I MOD most of my sets to my liking. I collect Technic flagships ocassionally. -
How many cars can one PF motor actually pull?
dr_spock replied to PaddMadd's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I found adding boat weights over the PF motor in the Horizon Express reduces wheel slippage when pulling 4 cars plus dummy engine. -
Burned out train motors (et al) from club shows
dr_spock replied to zephyr1934's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Maybe train wheels and couplers are? -
