Hey,
After almost 6 years hiatus, here’s my second post to this newsgroup.
I downloaded Lego Company’s LDD-software and found out that it’s quite nice one
to make microscale train models. Finally I made quite many trains. I felt that
building with LDD is like making puzzle or Sudoku. Of course there is some
colour limitations. For example I am keen to make Flying Scotsman and Italian
E636, but parts that those need are not buyable from BuildByMe.
Here is my brickshelf gallery of Microscale trains:

You can find two of these sets also at shop@home in DesignByMe gallery. Try

I tried also to create streamlined BR61 by LDD. I downloaded also that, even I
am not complete satisfied to result:

| (...) There's some really nice models there. I've never got my head round using LDD/DesignByMe, but it looks like you have. I particularly like the Garrett Tim (14 years ago, 1-Jun-10, to lugnet.trains)
