| | | Well, finally got done with them. (URL) note: pics are sized to 1154x768 (about 3x2 proportions) and will take some time to view. Enjoy Adrian Egli (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.build) !!

| | | | | | Thanks for the compliment! Cross your finger for 2003. You're right; it did take some time. Part of the hold up were the number of brick link I had to make just to finish it. One moment I thought I was OK, then discovered I needed more. (What really (...) (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | Well, truth be told. I've been pondering over the idea of going to the NW BrickCon and taking this with me to present as a MOC. Been stuck in So Cal for so long (exception being Las Vegas) that I want to go outside the bounds of the SW. Besides, (...) (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | Thank you. OK, here are the full dimensions: Overall height: 78 bricks (light gray = 71, dark gray = 7) Height at track's elevation: 75 bricks Overall length: 144 studs (equivalent to 18 straight rails) Distance from midpoint to midpoint of the (...)

| | | | | | Gang, OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE! Please forgive my horrible math. Height and depth values are good but the length values are WAY OFF!!!!! So here are the corrected values: Overall length: 288 studs (NOW that's equivalent to 18 straight rails) Distance (...) (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | That is a very pretty bridge, Adrian. If 1x1 bricks are a problem, I believe that bricks 1 x 2 would look quite nice also, when the're placed in such a way that one of their narrow sides is facing outwards. With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen. (22 years ago, 26-Aug-02, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | Thanks for your complement. I did consider using the 1x2 in the manner you mention. It would have been easier to set down the bricks above (a 2x8 sitting above a single column of 1x1s 14 bricks high) and could easily been purchased through SAH. I (...)

| | | | | | Thanks for your complement of study 4. That was really one of those "What can I do with just (blank)." ideas. I could use any color as long as it was light gray and any sizes of brick as long as they were 1x2 and 2x4. Those were the only (...) (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.build)
