Hi, As you know, some builders among you enjoy placing some interior details in their rolling stocks. As the scale of minifig do not fit well the scale of most train parts, you may often feel a lack of internal room (for instance only 4 studs in 6 wide trains). I am lucky enough that two friends let me know about their latest MOCs. They are both train guys and they both, without concerting, used the same technique. Where needed, they used panels to create wall structure instead of 1xn bricks, and then offer a 5-wide space in a 6-wide MOC. This technique is not so much innovative, but I can't remember having seen it before or I missed then the usefulness of the panels. Anybody here could share his experience with this technique? Regards, Didier

Im going to have to experiment tho as the motor may be too big for the bigest panels. If not I'll have to use SNOTted (...) (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
