(...) This tower is similar (But I think, bigger...) to the one that is in the Duplo(tm) area at the Museum of Science and Industry. They have a Hancock too. (25 years ago, 16-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

there is a turn corner gable brick. if you want tee or cross you can also use the brick that is like a 1 x 2 gable brick with a slope on the end. this fits against another slope and you can use that. (25 years ago, 16-May-99, to lugnet.build)

I got some red roof bricks from S@H and as I was trying to build a (small) roof structure, and noticed that there is not a brick that will turn a corner at the ridge of a hip roof (or gabled roof for that matter). There is also not a brick that will (...) (25 years ago, 16-May-99, to lugnet.build)

I am already back home. Wouldn't you know that one of the last things I did before I left this morning was take my digital camera out of my bag before I went to Chicago. So, no pictures this time but I go through O'Hare frequently enough (at least (...) (25 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

This sounds terrific, Mike. I wish you had taken a pic, as I try to avoid O'Hare, and since I am in Saint Louis, its easy to do. Maybe on your way back, I hope? -- Have fun!

I had to go to a meeting at O'Hare Airport (Chicago) today. When in O'Hare I never venture out of the the American Airlines terminal complex but today I was with my boss, a diehard Continental flyer.

I'm finding I really like using the large diameter spoked wheels that come in the RIS. Does anyone where more can be purchased? I can't find them in S@H or Dacta. -Wes (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.robotics)

Yes, they are pullies. They most likely have a Technic spacer between them, and it would probably work just fine for making custom rims. As for the playability of that particular model, I don't care, it LOOKS cool ;-) Now if I could only get ALL (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Most stuff at Legoland, unfortunatly, isn't designed to be "playable". But you're right, those are pullies for the hubs. The tires are standard small balloon tires. Jeff (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.build)
