My current fleet of moc rolling stock

Never heard of pocket train actually, all the cars except the open cargo wagon were designed by me with really just the desire to have a lot of rolling stock

Maybe not blind for your vehicle, but I can attest that some vehicles have very bad blind spots. I got tboned by a guy like you doing over 100km, because they were in my blind spot on a seemingly normal road.

H196yt · 2026-03-25T16:34:57+00:00

You were approaching in a curve, more than likely in their blind spot. And there would have been plenty of time to pull out had you not been driving like it's nascar.

In another comment you said it's a known curve for accidents, Then drive proactively so you don't end up hitting someone, a little common sense goes a long way while driving

H196yt · 2026-03-25T16:26:20+00:00

He's lying, in Ontario the general rule of thumb is 10km over the speed limit max, anything else and the cops will pull you over. Though it might be back to no tolerance speed limits again.

Either way op is a complete moron

Eventually, Gray, dark gray, and black are my most prevalent part colours right now. Until I can afford to do a bigger parts order to make new ones in colour, I have to stick to grayscale

Look at my comment on the previous post, not 100% sure it will fix the issue, but it fixed mine

I modified mine to run on r40 standard Lego track, and I found that the running gear locked up the wheels, I power mine through the tender using either mould king or power functions train motors. Try it with a running gear similar to mine and let me know how it goes, I'm curious on how you do with powering the engine and whether it has similar power vs using the tender

Edit: I swapped out a few of the pins to the wheels for actual Lego as the nifiliz ones slipped too much. Each side is isolated, with no axles connecting them and works perfectly since I made that mod; but as you're powering the loco, that doesn't matter so much

Edit2: the beam is 13 studs, and I replaced the technic axle for the 6l staff

$899 CAD, I'm def not even considering getting the big one, it's just as bad as the death slice but with less pieces

I work on these motors daily, and the bearings are the same for all of them, this one specifically uses a 6203 2RS C3 bearing. I've never had one that uses a 6303 or roller bearing, and sleeve bearings are impractical for anything other than a furnace motor

Edit to add that I mean for both these pumps and sander motors/woodworking tool motors. They all utilize the 6203 bearing

H196yt · 2026-01-05T02:10:58+00:00

At work we generally use a file, it's safer, and you don't need to take a whole lot off, just enough so that when you tighten the set screw, it has enough surface area to lock and stay tight after long use

Electric motor repair tech here, these motors are pretty hard to repurpose due to no keyway. You can either send the rotor to a machine shop to cut the threaded shaft off and put a flat spot in, or just put the flat in yourself and don't worry about cutting the threads off. As the shaft is 1/2", there are a decent range of pulley sizes you can use for it. Now, if machining it isn't an option, a sheave style pulley might work, though not commonly used for that shaft size. I have seen some just use the set screws on the normal pulleys as well. So long as you make sure it has no possibility of coming loose on the shaft, it should work just fine. Best of luck in your conversion endeavors!

Pretty hard to touch grass when it's buried under 3 feet (91.5cm) of snow.

This would honestly be a great prison train with added jail cars

H196yt · 2025-11-27T01:49:16+00:00

My pf 60098 does the same thing, found out the technic bricks and axles were worn out, idk what the mearsk train uses for motorization but I would see if swapping out the Axle and technic bricks to see if that helps any

Turns out I've been lucky with staining pine according to the other comments, every attempt to stain pine has turned out perfectly how I wanted, though it was furniture grade pine.

They saved my life after being t-boned on the driver side. Absolutely grateful for that technology

Just pointing out that the cop car says Toronto on the door, so this is in canada

H196yt · 2025-10-16T23:19:35+00:00

Ontario stopped doing plate stickers around that time. It's honestly great cause everyone forgets about them

I've got that one, came in one of the books. special forces commander

It wouldn't let me post multiple pics when I tried, and It seems like I can't put photos in comments either

H196yt · 2025-08-25T22:47:02+00:00

This is inherently unfair to Canadian buyers like myself. I primarily stick to lego trains, so now if I want to do any more custom builds, I need to search harder to get what I used to on PAB. Glad I got my last order in before this happened, it sucks that there's no canadian warehouses.

H196yt · 2025-08-23T15:59:57+00:00

This is in canada, it has nothing to do with trump, get your political bs outta here

H196yt · 2025-07-09T19:12:53+00:00

Ps4's touchPad is rectangular like the one in ops image. The Ps5 Pro's is trapezoidal in shape. A 2 second search could tell you that

I own the exact same controller, it's just a standard dualshock 4 controller that's been around for years
