| | 8 Wide train hopper
|
|
I am assuming John Neal is completely interested in this: I have just finished my first 8 wide train car. It is an adaption of Larry P's custom hopper. I widened it to 8 studs, added 5 plates height to it and lengthened it quite a bit. I might need (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

| | Yellow inverted slopes?
|
|
I am wondering if there are any yellow inverted slopes available and in which sets. I am especially looking for yellow inverted slopes that are 1x2x3 extreme slopes -- I need four of 'em. Is there such a piece? -- Richard (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.build)

While experimenting with the red container grabber as used in 4555 I noticed that the holes for the black rubber are the same size as a stud.

Would round 1x1 tiles work? Or maybe the hemispherical bases of the 1x1 "joystick" pieces. They wouldn't roll around *too* much.
