(...) Nice work. It's neat seeing how many of the Model Railroad "standard tricks" eventually get done in Lego as well. I agree with James, a nice slow running train may be just the thing to lull baby to sleep. So if it's a girl are you going to (...)

(...) Eric, Truly a nice piece of handy work and a great way to bring in the next generation of Lego fan. I thought I'd be 50 before I could justify getting a train. I'm going to show my wife your pictures as soon as I can. My Lego is in the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.fun.crafts)

Very cool indeed Eric!! What's the noise level like? I would think being that close to the ceiling you'd get quite a bit of noise, of course it being a steady sound of the trains running across the tracks could be a good thing. I think that would (...)

Well I am here to announce that I have completed the structural portion of a shelf railway in our soon-to-be baby's nursery. All the details you need are on the web page but rest assured that this is a working and powered LEGO railway not just a (...)

Hi Jamie, I think I solved the problem ... I found some high fire clay that had dried out but wasn't fired, melted some lead into a place I had carved out. It worked great holding the lead in shape and didnt crack at all. So I am going to make a (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)

(...) If you go to some Toys R Us stores, they have large hollow plastic bricks for trim in their Lego section. I bet you could find a way to snag one, and use it for a mold. What you fill it with is up to you. (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)

hi Jamie! thanks for looking. I tried the web but everyone wanted to sell molds not say how to make them. The reason I thought of lead bricks is due to the lead sinkers I used on my rope throwing device( climbing trees is real easy when you can (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)

Office supply stores sell a type of bookend that is roughly an inverted "T" shape from the side, one end of which slides under the first several books which it supports thereby gaining the weight of the books on top of it (...)

(...) I wonder how hard it would be to build or aquire a "bookend base" -- a stone or metal "L" that would be big enough to mount a LEGO creation on. That way, the base would do the work, and the LEGO bits would be unadulterated. Steve (24 years ago, 12-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)
