  The Tequila Sunrise
 
Here's my latest steam engine I've been working on. It's lacking stickers, but someday I'll find a printer that can print decent stickers from home. Till then I'll have to wait till I can find the time to borrow the use of my father's printer. (2 (...) (17 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX) !! 
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) ... Hi, I'm guilty of never finding time to post feedback. Be assured that, with or without stickers, I greatly appreciate the originality of your trains MOCs and the care you take to present them to us through photos of quality.

  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Great! Creates this nice envious 'want THAT too...'-feeling inside :-) It is okay to add stickers, but already not necessary, since it actually looks fully developed. Also the colour scheme is ok, it reminds a little bit of a comic style. (...) (17 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
Nicely done Tony. I snuck in a few peeks on the Flickr page last week, and saw that it was really coming together. Turned out great. The cow-catcher came out very well using that method. I'm still dabbling with my Hudson streamline concepts... I (...) (17 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Thanks! It helps that I gave up and spent the money on a good camera and a good lighting set up, after years of trial and error trying to make what little I had on hand work. This locomotive was a fun build, but a real pain to photograph given (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Thanks! The stickers I intend to add won't do much to change the overall look, they'll mainly just be adding text too small to have been created through LEGO means. I had some reservations with the color scheme, but it was different so I went (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Thanks! I love Flickr, it's really helped the building process when it comes to things like these. There aren't too many shopes that carry the 4x4 dome piece I used around, but they are there. (URL) Thanks for the reply! --Tony (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) It's another Tequila sunrise! No, wait, this is the first one! Wow, that's as impressive a MOC as it is brightly colored, Tony! You've captured the streamlined twenties look very well-- nice and clean, and well-rounded. It looks fast just (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) [...] (...) Pretty nifty indeed. But yellow? I'll assume that this (...) was supposed to mean that all of the parts that you needed came in yellow, so that's the color you chose? Mmmm.... tequila.... Chris (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Thanks, John! Coming from you I consider that high praise. With any luck you'll be able to see it with stickers at Brickworld*. But could the world survive the bringing together of two Polar Express on the same display table? Thanks for the (...) (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Yes, I caught the typo right after I posted... sigh. What I meant to say is that not all the parts came in grey, which is the original color for this locomotive (the original color was actually dark grey, but the 4x4 dome piece doesn't come in (...)

  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) No, it would be too cool for the world to comprehend! Best to keep an eye out for Jesus while we're there;-) (...) Here's hoping so:-) JOHN (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  Re: The Tequila Sunrise
 
(...) Sure, yellow is prototypical... (URL) the yellow and gray are backwards, real life can't get everything right) Now as for doing it in dark gray, if you want to say it hit a few rocks thrown by the children along the line, you could use the top (...)
