		Re: Nominations for a trainset poll
(...) Fair cop. But read on for why I chose NS. (...) That's a broken image link but I'm guessing it's a MoPac engine??? I agree it's a nice color AND they have a great logo... BUT... they're a Fallen Flag!... I'm talking current roads here. Plus, (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Richard is right as far as he goes, where he falls down is in his prescription for how to change countries to be free... (...) You mean like the US??? (...) You mean like Dubya ??? (...)

		Re: 10170 TTX Intermodal Double-Stack Car Preview
(...) Oh, very much so! Even steam locomotive drivers (in most US prototypes I'm aware of) are held in place by gravity, much less individual freight car trucks. But they have a bit more weight to work with. Most model railroad models don't use this (...) (19 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: Help with redesigning a Boat Lock

I suppose you already considered vertical racks at the 4 corners of the "water" that are embedded in the lock walls (the rack, visible, might look like a ladder or steps cut into the (...)

		Re: 10170 TTX Intermodal Double-Stack Car Preview
(...) I believe that different car classes have different freight rates (just like they have different dunnage charges when they're empty)... a 5 well will be a different class than a 1 well. (19 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

		Re: 10170 TTX Intermodal Double-Stack Car Preview
(...) whew! (...) Na, I like them. (...) One other thing I have toyed with is using a 1x2 technic brick, sideways. There is just enough of a cut in shoulder there that the pin doesn't bind the way it does in two plates. However it doesn't allow that (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: 10170 TTX Intermodal Double-Stack Car Preview
(...) Only use one plate, and leave the second (upper) layer hollow so the pin can move up and down vertically and also move a bit out of the vertical axis. This helps with track conformance when the track is uneven. Note that if you use LEGO's (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.trains)

		Re: 10170 TTX Intermodal Double-Stack Car Preview
(...) Long time readers may recall my repeated ranting against using stacked technic plates for the receivers of the pin on bogie plates. Same issue here, in my view. Apparently the design may possibly have room for improvement. Having the trucks (...) (19 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

		Re: 10170 TTX Intermodal Double-Stack Car Preview
