(...) Excellent content! A well organized layout, but like my site it has a relatively simple "old school" HTML style. There's so much artistic stuff you can do now. You're an artist, your site should be more whimsical. (I'm starting to use (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) LEGO weights are great but can cost some bucks, $4.95 a pair (2K2 catalog) and that excludes shipping. (Save the money for Technic beams) Low cost alternative, and I've heard the train guys mention this, roll of pennies. Just make a container (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.build)

(...) You can get LEGO weight elements (9936) from Pitsco. Very handy. Also, the counterweight doesn't have to go below the bridge - you can use cables with a pulley system, or something like this bridge at Constitution dock (URL) I wish I had a (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.build)

(...) Your bridge has definately a very impressive mechanism. It does look a little fragile, but I'm pretty sure it holds solid (it holds a train, right? :-). It is very complex, nonetheless. Isn't there any simpler (so to speak...) solution? One (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

Hi all, I am currently building a small drawbridge for my train using Technic elements, but I came across a difficulty which I was not expecting to be so problematic: the need of a "counter-weight". I did know I was *probably* gonna need one. And (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.pt)

I like! Nice use of the new slopes on the nose, gives it quite a predatory look. This reminds me, I need to build a warplane again soon. Magnus (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military)
