Asper

Wonderful train station! There are many carefully designed details (trash can, ticket machine,...) - looks like a real modern station.

Wonderful! And with working lights!

That's a wonderful train. Thank you for sharing all the details!

Wonderful tram!

Wonderful! What a great project!

Great job integrating everything in such beautiful eninges! Yes, that's me ;-) So It's the same codebase... (asper was not availalbe on github and I'm living in KArlsruhe...)

Great project - Thank you for sharing!

in C this could be sprintf(buffer, "%+04d%c", ((velocity==0) ? 0 : (55 + abs(velocity))), 'a'+channel) velcotiy can be 0..200, channel 0..2. (with a "deadband" for the velocity) So setting velocity for a to 100 and c to -140 you have to send "+100a-140c". b will be set to 0. The M5 has very limited resources, so I could not use Legoino, but used the information I found there to implement the button callback for the LEGO remote. The idea was to build the M5 directl in to the trains. I used platform.io, since Visual Sudio Code offers more C/C++ extensions and features than the Arduino IDE. But you need to install the Arduino IDE also, as it is used in the background to build everything. So you should be able to use the code with the Arduino IDE.

Great job to integrate all the PF elements into this engine!

Great!

Thomas, Thorsten, Thank you! As far as I remember the Atom has very limited resources. So I could not use the Legoino code. But I could use all the information about the PU remotes (Which UUIDs do they use, what commands where used for the buttons, ...).

Great MO!

Great! Wonderful engine, with many clever details!

Wow, wonderful! You managed to put many detail in this small narrow gauge train.

Great - as always!

Wonderful tram! Great job fitting two motors, passangers and so many clever details into this!

Great MOC and a wonderful video!

Wonderful! So many details to discover

Wonderful!

Wow, wonderful. Great job on the shape of the train. I like how you integrated the "old" hinge plates into the roof.

Wow, great layout!

Wonderful train!

Wow, great work on the shape!

Thank you all for the kind feedback! yes, but the pins are always part of the part, (e.g. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2476. or https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2458 ) To secure the washers, I used double-sided tape between them.

The "Schlossgartenbahn" is a small 600mm narrow gauge park-railway running in the park of the castle in Karlsruhe. It was built in 1967 for the "Bundesgartenschau" and is still running during summer. From the original trains, only the "Porschelog" is active (again). But there are two other engines: one steamer and a Diesel. (More information and images can be found on this german wikipedia page) Years ago I built the railway in a rather large scale. In the meantime circuit cubes and trixbrix tracks became available and so I did it again in mini-figure scale. coupling rods are from bricks-on-rails.de Both trains are powered by a circuit cubes motor - the receiver/battery is "hidden" in the first coach. Additional weight is needed to get enough traction to move the coaches with the small LEGO wheels. They do no run a smooth as standard LEGO train wheels. I tried to hide the wheels of the coaches completely to have the same look as the original. Video of both trains - they both handle R24(!) curves. Last summer I tested the steam train on "rough terrain":
