Hi Everybody! Jeroen de Haan has once again worked wonders! Given only an LDRAW file, he put together a (if I may be so bold) gorgeous poster of a Hudson 4-6-4 Steam Engine. He uploaded three different wallpaper sizes, in addition to the pdf file (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad) !!

(...) Beautiful Shaun! It must be said again. Your Hudson is a really great model. This poster must be printed out as large as possible (on my A4-printer). It must have been a tremendous job to model it in Ldraw with all the curved flexible parts. (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish)

(So *this* is why you needed to convert that file!) Jeroen, je heeft (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad, lugnet.publish)

For some of them (the cowcatcher and some of the side tubes) I simply used the flexible hose segments in LDRAW to simulate flex-tubing. For the rest (all of the (...)
