Hello, (...) To complement on the SNOT techniques used in this BB62400, the bicolor version led to interesting challenges especially to render both bicolor ends of the locomotive in 4 studs width. After three different versions I ended-up with a (...) (19 years ago, 4-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Right, I can see it now. It's the tile on top that's offset a little because the stud it's on (the transparent brick) isn't in a natural position. Of course, it would probably have been simpler to use two clear 1x2 plates with a tile on top, (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I'm not sure but I think there's a misunderstanding there. (I've been not precise enough) There are two tiles and if the one in the side (SNOT mounted) of the engine has no offset, the one "stud up" has a 0.4 stud offset relatively to the (...)

(...) This is a useful technique I and others have used before, but in this case it isn't actually necessary. Try putting a technic 1x1 brick with a half pin in it, or a 'dalek' brick (1x1 brick with studs on all sides) on top of the laid-down (...)
