  Halloween Lego Design Contest Reminder and Update
 
Hello Lego Community! Well, here it is the first of September and in most parts of the country the first hints of the Fall have begun.

  Re: New models of Semi Trucks etc.
 
(...) You may already know this, Will, but Lego's current Idea Book (which is pretty lame overall) has instructions for a semi cab which has a 4-wide driving cab and a 5-wide rear (sleeping?) cab. I just built it today, by coincidence. It's not bad. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: New models of Semi Trucks etc.

This would work pretty easy for 3-wide, but the others would require another layer of plates to hold (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

(...) 10 for width yes. Container height and length vary. 40 used to be standard but there now are 20s, 30s, 40s, 44s and 50s I believe. I dunno what the standard height is. However my point is simple, 10 feet is the width of a container, it's also (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New models of Semi Trucks etc.
 
(...) What about 3, 5, and 7 wide? I'd like to see how others solve the problem of odd-width cars. (Actually, I've only used 5 wide for the bed of a pick-up truck, and 7 wide for my AT-ST, but I think other vehicles would be interesting (3 wide golf (...)

Jeff Stembel: (...) It looks like I qualify for the "Darth Vader" title. My minifigs drive ten-wide (and eight, six, four, and two wide). We have an ongoing competition about the smallest minifig car. We are at 3.2*2 at the moment! Play well, Jacob (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

  Re: New models of Semi Trucks etc.
 
It loaded fine for me here at work, but I know for a fact it won't load at home, even though I am using Communicator 4.61 at both locations, both on NTWS 4.0 SP4. The reason I know it won't load at home, even without trying? Xoom. If you have a (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
