(...) Yes. And definitely would be impure. If you don't like Lego as a medium, don't use it. :-) Decals are for rebels who secretly wish they were modeling in a different medium. <HUGE FIGHT STARTING GRIN> (25 years ago, 24-Jul-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

Nice job on the SD70M! What might work better for the logo than inlaid red bricks is to go to a hobby shop and pick up some good-quality decals to apply. It will definately give the engine a more prototypical look. -Tim (...) with (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jul-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

Conan has his uncle Chuck. Properly fed and cared for, Chuck can sort way more than 1 brick a second. Trust me. Also, those 2.3 million bricks got sorted over the last 20 years (and a good 300,000 are not sorted as of right now) I dunno about (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Todd, Although your math is probably right on (I didn't double check), mine is also not far off. Mine is calculating the number of bulk tubs. It would 1,667 to 2,500 bulk tubs to have that many bricks. Granted, a bulk tub will hold about 2500 bricks (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Hmm, that doesn't sound right. If a 2x4 brick takes up .35 in^3, then 10^6 2x4 bricks should take up something like 350,000 in^3, or about 200 ft^3, plus maybe 10%-15% for storage containers. So 3x10^6 2x4 bricks would only about 600-700 ft^3, (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
