That's weird, I could click on the links around a half hour ago and they worked. Now I can't see 'em--they're not moderated. Maybe there's a security issue at Brickshelf Just giving ya a heads up. Btw, nice locos! Dave K (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I think that's 'cos I put some more pics on there about an hour ago. Perhaps the moderator takes all the user's directories that contain pictures off line while the new stuff is moderated, even if there's already moderated stuff in there. When (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Kid is short for Kidderminster, where we exhibited the large layout (16ft x 12ft) earlier this month. Dby is short for Derby, where we were in April 2003. I hope my cutting out of the salient bits of photos has kept the download time (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Bevel gears? WAY overengineered. Someone did a tilting metroliner that uses no gears at all, just slanted truck mounts. VERY clever. This was at least 3 years ago IIRC... I am 80% sure (but not 100%) it was either E. Brok or J. Mathis. (20 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Ah, but how did it cope with double bends? The Hornby APT, which uses either slanted mounts or a contoured track, rises up on double bends in a most unprototypical fashion. My Pendolino doesn't rise up. Also, the pantographs don't tilt on the (...) (20 years ago, 1-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Larry, I built a tilting train about 4 years ago but that was based loosely on the 4559. It used the same principles (slanted truck pivots) with tune-able lean angles and could snake through S-bends at reasonable speeds. Only reason I broke it (...)

(...) Larry, you wanted to see some more pictures of the Pendolino. Tony Priestman took this last year, showing the bevel gear mechanism at each end of each coach: (URL) 6-wide frame doesn't tilt, but supports the bogie below and the body either (...)
