Jojo, this structure is so impressive! Every once in a while I get it in my head that I'm starting to become a good builder, but then something like this comes along and I feel humbled. Excellent job capturing the overall look of the building, (...) (21 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

I’ve always been a fan of space, but I never really managed to get down to doing anything in the theme as of late as it was too abstract for me (Although I did a lot of stuff as a kid, my memory and definition of what spaceyness was got wiped out (...)

(...) As an 8-wider, I am left feeling a bit flat. One of the biggest problems using 6-wide bases on 8-wide trains is the number of 1x(x) plates that are needed to fill in the gap, and the minimum thickness of the train's bases grows from 2 to 3 (...) (21 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

A Motorised 2 axel truck with 3 stud wheel spacing. This is a custom modified 9v train motor. (URL) I've been toying with this idea for a while.

Leaving off the end isn't a bad idea! In my mind's eye I see the end terminate as any other single plate thickness. Great thinking! How about a 1x2 stud notch off the end too. This way if a pair are tight up against each other (or a 6xn plate is (...) (21 years ago, 8-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
