    Looks good! One note of (aesthetic) advice: The rear bogie might look better if it has some space in between the wheel sets to match the PF motor. Other than that, it looks really cool!

    Do you have any problems with one of the IR receivers not getting the signal but the other one does? It might be more reliable to have both motors running off one IR receiver in the front using a polarity switch.

    I've heard of adapted cars turned into rail speeders that had their steering wheel adapted for brake use, e.g. turning the wheel all the way to the right puts the brakes on. Not sure where I heard it though.

    :wub_drool: :wub_drool: ...need i say more? Wow. Those are some really amazing sets, especially considering the pieces (or lack of) back then.

    Looks good, but the top edges are quite angular and flat. Might be good to use some rounded bricks on the top to make it look smoother. Nice job with the yellow nose though.

    ...but grinds in the corners quite fiercely. It works, but not well. Try to get the center two axle assemblies to slide laterally.

    Maybe they need to use the "super-cardboard" tube that my replacement door parts came in (sorry, not train related. ). You could seriously drive a (real) truck over it without it being deformed. We needed to use a sawzall to cut it up.

    I've found that light trains (like stock holiday train w/ 9v motor in engine) work OK with up to 1 brick per track segment, but that only works for trains less than 3 or 4 light cars long, and even then, it really struggles. This looks fine though. Ok, enough rambling on now. Neat use of the old Technic parts! If only they came in the current grey to match... What are you planning to use these for?

    With no mention of one this late? Probably not, but we'll just have to see how it all plays out.\ .

    Oh, ok. Yeah, that would be bad if the booster 'sploded in the yard. .

    Interesting tidbit! I wonder why it says "DO NOT HUMP"; is the rest of Florida full of innuendos too?

    For ME Models, they are *eventually* going to offer metal track. For regular track, that looks like a good solution, but it might wear off easy with the constant friction from the wheels.

    The building reminds me of "soft-story" apartment buildings.

    ...if it ever gets done here in California. There are still a lot of hoops to jump through, especially in Southern California. Still have my fingers crossed, though. .

    I thought of making a joke about Belch-um but i thought better of it...
