Man I wish 4DBrix would have stuck around. All these years later we still don't have a monorail track source, besides a random eBay seller that sells 3d printed straights. I was in a "dim age" when 4DBrix was making this stuff 😭

This is awesome! I've thought about making a monorail with their track! I wish they would make the decoupling Lego track from the 12 volt era because that track is so expensive now, this would be so cool in a Lego train yard!😄

I'm guessing if I could use it without computer like old 12v switches. I see there are three wires: one to ground and the + switched to right or left cable should move the motor.... I don't know the voltage but I suppose about 5v cause the hub is connected to USB port...
@Keircomb1815 жыл бұрын
Awesome. I guess the next step is full block control programming meaning : a network running on its own for extended periods of time following schedules by using sensors to locate each train to avoid collisions and direct them to stations. Additional lights or info screens optional. Do you have some advice on that ?

+Mardigrasman23 that's the thing about model railroads - they require a lot of wires. Most run them under the table. I should show the bottom of my HO Scale layout - there are a ton of wires and more than most people would think. A wireless option would be neat and I think an app for a mobile device would be great

As the company grows perhaps there will be designs of smaller boxes. It's hard to do smaller scale working out of a garage but I'm sure they'll continue to get better. Another thing I didn't mention is I think it would be good to have connections for the wired that any wire could be used. This is good for anybody to get it set up and running but I like to run my own wires

These Cables are just normal Servo Cables. So you could get short servo extensions, cut them in half and solder 3 wires in between. Or you could also get pre made cables.

BAT: is there anything lego that is worth more opened rather than sealed? If there is, why?
@BrickTsar7 жыл бұрын
This is a very interesting question! One thing popped into my mind right away but I will try to do some research.
@wakebuildsleeprepeat24607 жыл бұрын
BrickTsar One thing I thought about was the NBA collectors; apparently there were autographed lego sports cards randomly inserted in the boxes. I also was considering back when lego did the chrome c3po inserted in the boxes. Although this is not true for every set, there is the possibility that the opened sets are actually worth more than they would be sealed. Eager to hear your research, knowledge, and thoughts!
@BrickTsar7 жыл бұрын
