(...) Thanks James, The DZ123 sounds like the economical choice then. Any other advice on installing these? I'm planning to remove the thermal protection disk from the motorbox, what about the surge diode? I assume anti buzzing circuits are no (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Why is a "Disneyish" bad? You make it seem that non-real world accurate scene elements are bad and should never be modelled. I like the look of a "Disneylike" exaggerated scene, maybe that's why I like the Disney parks so much. -Orion (21 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

Agreed about the snow line- better to have a patch of snow in a gulley or valley- a little tiny glacier. Beautiful work- I'm jealous! I don't (...)

(...) Whereas I like trans with blue underneath or transblue, I think it looks more like water, since water is transparent. Having blue bricks underneath the transparent layer makes it look blueish but not solid. (...) Which is probably why I would (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)

It's going to take a tall, tall mountain to really justify a snow cap. Wouldn't you (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.indylug)
