(...) Thanks for your feedback James! Maybe the best thing about these doors is: they really work and can be opened. www.brickshelf.com/g...opened.jpg The second waggon which I built last weekend is missing that..... Kind Regards, Ben (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.loc.de, lugnet.build.schleim)

(...) I dunno. *I* think the most difficult part of building one of these is saving up digger buckets till you have enough for a roof! Nice build. Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing! XFUT trains... (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.loc.de, lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains)

It won't be long until these "digger buckets" are not longer needed! Check out the inital concept for this VO1000 switcher (Yet another Turtle Creek MOC)...

They're also available in yellow (x2) in 8644 Street Maniac. I'd add it to Peeron but its got too many new parts and I've never quite worked out how to read the part numbers. Tim Gould [LEGOSet 8644] (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Larry, Instead of using buckets for a roof (is it leaking?!), have you tried the 1 x 4 x 1 1/3 brick sideways? See my recent post in Trains: (URL) number 6191 Stuart (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.loc.de)
