(...) Excuse me, but why would TLC owe you anything? Double crossovers have IRL existed for well over 100 years... The new LEGO version is even vastly different from your type, since it only has 2 levers instead of 4. So I don't see any reason why (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains) !

Hello, all! I've been away from Lugnet for a bit, but today a Lego Education catalog arrived which included set K779324 (1650 pcs, $109.95). Sure enough, it can be found online: (URL) the availability is listed as "out of stock" (and the "K" number (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.microscale)

(...) Actually, what if you added another plate? Perhaps one more might "sell" it better? But given the choice of just dropping the upper window or leaving it as is, I'd definitely opt for the latter. JOHN (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi John, Thanks. My eye didn't entirely "buy it" either if I understand you correctly. I have to admit that I hadn't considered classic doors but I was kind of hoping to build this one so I was going for something I could make without too much (...)

(...) It's a question better answered by a modder like Ondrew, but I think you are correct-- "channel" probably wasn't the best description. Shaving down would work AFAIK. That is to match track height. Now the 9 volt train motor actually picks up (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) OK, thanks, that makes sense. So... do you really need something with a non-trivial profile -- a "channel", as you say, or does the top of the rail just need to be shaved down? I'm thinking that a woodworker's drum sander (the stationary kind (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I like it a lot, Tim-- it really grabs the proto well. One thing, however. My eye isn't "buying" the additional clear plate as an extension of the 1x2x2 classic window, thus making the windows appear to small compared to the proto. Did you (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) It's not a dumb question, but a good one. The reason is that the 9v track is molded slightly differently to account for the height of the metal, therefore making the final dimensions the same with the older, plastic rails (dimensions to which (...)
