[edit] LDCC

I wanted to add details about LDCC[1] a (Digital Command Control variant to automate model train operation) by use of LEGO Mindstorms. I'm not sure in what chapter to put it. It is a fanbased thing so it might fit in the community section, though it looks out of place when put there. Suggestions anyone? Felsir 11:13, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] April Fools Joke

Trivia: Reinhard Beneke made a fake catalog in 2001 as a april fools joke [2] it caused quite a lot of speculation in the community since it was so well done. The main reason to include would be that since the introduction of the 9V system a lot of features featured in the joke are on top of the community's wish-list (automated points etc.) Would this be worth to include or not?

[edit] Image from NTS

I've added an image that I took at the NTS this year. I've got several other photos from the layout if anyone wants to see them. slambo 19:09, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

I have a bunch as well, from that show and others, since I've been active with LEGO, and LEGO trains for some time now. Troll througy my brickshelf account: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=lar and if you see any you like I'd be happy to GFDL/CC them to Commons. In fact, the image Slambo uploaded has 2 of my train models in it! ++Lar: t/c 12:23, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monorail

What about the old space monorail set, from the late 80's-early 90's? Is it compatible? 85.226.122.227 02:48, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Monorails are an entirely separate system from trains. SpaceCaptain 03:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 4.5V era compatible with ALL

The 4.5V era, due to its simplicity, is forward-compatible with all LEGO and non-LEGO tracks of the same gauge. This bears mentioning. 163.41.138.2 04:05, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
