cptkent Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Backed. Best of luck. I backed the ME rails, the PFx brick and now this. Folks, if you want it, there's only one way to get it! (PS. anything in 9V will also be supported!!) Quote
Q3671 Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Placed my order for some switches, @coaster succes. #4 Quote
lego9vtrainfan Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Thanks for bringing this project forward - I've been really pleased with your R104 and R120 curved tracks and have put in my pledge for 4x pairs of R104 switches. Best of luck in getting the project funded! Quote
Stefaneris Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 I also backed your project. Let's hope it get's funded. Quote
supertruper1988 Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Hey @coaster any chance the switch kit will include the 1-5/8 stud straight needed to make a yard ladder with these? Quote

It doesn't right now, but that'd be an easy enough piece to piggy back on one of the tools. If there's enough money for it I'll include it. Quote
dylanfarrow Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Backed! P.S This should have it's own thread :) @coasterHave you sent to Jang? We need some more backers :) Quote
M_slug357 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I agree with @dylanfarrow that this new kickstarter campaign should have its own shiny new thread!! Also, it may be good @coaster to have an open call for picture support from those that were able to get their hands on the prototypes? I know you have a few on the ks page already, but more couldn't hurt lol. Also, that very last pledge tier you have up is just... marvelous! but also, somewhat insane! Who's got the space/time to utilize 200 something swtiches??? I would totally jump on that if I could afford it though lol. Quote
coaster Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 @dylanfarrow @M_slug357 You guys weren't the first to suggest a new thread, but I've finally got it up now. @dylanfarrow, who's Jang? I'm afraid I don't know them. @M_slug357, that top level is to entice some LUGs. Though I admit I'm not looking forward to assembling that many switches for one order! Quote
dylanfarrow Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 @coaster Jang is from YouTube. 1m + followers and a huge train fan. Unsure if he uses custom parts though. https://www.youtube.com/user/LEGOJANG Quote
M_slug357 Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 @dylanfarrow I'm pretty sure Jang is a purist when it comes to the actual bricks, but he did/does do some minor electrical mods where appropriate. Quote
Ludo Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Hi @coaster, Just backed for 2 left & 2 right points. I hope it will be funded as there's still a lot to go. I wish you a lot of success. Regards from Belgium. Ludo Quote
coaster Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Thanks @Ludo! In other news, the R56s will be delayed a couple more weeks. We still had some issues with the studs on the end ties being a little undersized, and I want to get it right. It should be fixed now, but we've missed our production window. I'll also send an email out to those that pre-ordered. Quote
coaster Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 R56 curves: Running production now, so these will go out as soon as they're done. Quote
BurkusCircus Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Quick question (I might have asked this earlier but don't recall): In two corners of my layout, I've mixed straights and curves to make a rough but wider radius curve. It goes: R40 Curve Track Segment - 16 Stud Straight - R40 Curve Track Segment - R40 Curve Track Segment - 16 Stud Straight - R40 Curve Track Segment It seems to me that it'd be close to R72, but I may be wrong. Anyone know what would be the best fit? Quote

Anyone know what would be the best fit? Since you have this built you could just directly measure the radius by counting the studs. You need to measure from the centre of the circle to the middle of one of the sleepers. Quote

coaster Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Just as an update, parts are running, and the first batches of R56s should be going out next week sometime. Quote
BurkusCircus Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Hey coaster, are you on bricklink? Also will definitely be getting some R56 s Quote

Ludo Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 @coaster I found following message in my mail box regarding the kickstarter project for the R104 points : Quote Hi there, ________________________________________ Thanks for being a backer of BrickTracks™ R104 Switch Tracks for LEGO® Trains. Unfortunately, this project did not reach its funding goal by its deadline. Because funding on Kickstarter is all or nothing, your pledge of $155.00 has been automatically canceled and your card will not be charged. Thanks again for supporting this project. Kickstarter whats next? Ludo Quote
coaster Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 @ Ludo, I move to plan B to get these made. We have some things in mind, so it's far from dead. Hopefully we don't have to move to Plan C, because that involves me robbing liquor stores. Quote
