(...) Duh, I forgot! GMLTC has a jig for module building too. It's so simple, it hardly deserves the name. Basically it's a 2x8 (or 10, I forget which) with a handle to get the column spacing right. Thanks for reminding me. I think it was made for (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) I made a jig to help speed up the building of my modules. It would slide into place around one tower of 2x2 bricks and have a notch for the next tower.

This doesn't quite count, but it's close. I just ran off 10 copies of my black hopper. Since this was tedious, I did everything I could to make it quick, by doing the same step over and over.

Hi all! I am wondering which colors a certain part is available in. The part is number 6247. I don't think there is an 'official' name for it yet, but you could describe it as a 1 x 11 strip, about the thickness of a halfbean/liftarm, no holes, (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)
