(...) How heavy is this? A caster needs an offset, but making this offset as small as possible should reduce bending. I usually use a medium pulley on a #3 axle; either end of the axle is held in the pin hole of a Technic crossblack, while short (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Agreed. Part of the skill (and fun) in building anything real in Lego is to leave in what is essential to the character and leave out what you can get away with to ensure functionality. So, the skill required is beyond simply making something (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Less windows, in my view. Typically, most modelers feel compression works better by having less of a repeating element instead of making the element smaller (you could do some searching of back issues of model railroad magazines for articles (...)

(...) Just a thought, brought on by you mentioning leaving windows out. Some European HO manufacturers compress the length of long coaches in HO. They do this by having the basic scale of 1:87 but having the length modelled to 1:100. this means that (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Can't speak for anyone else, but I see it as just about mandatory to do anything useable, and still have bricks left over. Replicating every window, every seat, every rivet is just not possible, so leave some out, as long as the feeling is (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
