Hi,

   I just finished converting an LDRAW-based model to an LDD-based
model, and I uploaded the model to the factory.[1]

http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=LFH002&mid=C2C606CB-5FB2-45D9-A206-A4CED4D90453

It's a boxcar that I designed for the Millyard
(http://www.see-sciencecenter.org/Indexnews.html scroll to the middle
http://www.nelug.org/gallery/). I don't know if it will be used at the
Millyard, but thats a different story :) The model features a detailed
undercarriage, a gently sloped roof, and home made doors that can be
opened and closed.

I am considering creating a version with unbuffered trucks since 2x3
plates with one hole are part of the LDD pallet.

1. part 2431 is incorrectly mapped in the ldraw.xml file. If you edit
the ldraw.xml file to map ldraw part 2431 to LDD part 2431 then 1x4
tiles in red will import correctly. Similarly, if you know the ldraw
part number for the 1x4 dashboard tile you can fix the mapping of that
part too. Unfortunately, I do not know that part number. If you have no
idea what I'm talking about, well, then you probably shouldn't be
mucking around in the ldraw.xml file :)

(...) Very nice Chris. Would you consider sharing the LDraw version as well? I think I may a good portion of these parts already, but I usually use MLCad and Bricktrax via Brickshelf to purchase any parts I'm short. (18 years ago, 28-May-06, to lugnet.trains)
