(...) Thanks, Eric, it's taken a long time for me to figure out a "good" way of taking photos of an all black locomotive. I'm sure other builders use the 2x2 printed tile in the same way, but I can't think of any examples off hand. --Tony (16 years ago, 26-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

Has anyone ever used cross-stitch patterns for Lego mosaics? I just grabbed a few of my mother-in-law's books (she isn't using them anymore) and I'm wondering if I should keep them for Lego use or trade them away. Thanks, Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 (...) (16 years ago, 25-Feb-09, to lugnet.general)

WOW thats good. I am SO going to get one and use the large train wheels to build an American 4-4-0. Not sure if 6-wide or 8-wide would be more to scale with the real thing (may have to pull out my copy of Back To The Future 3 to check) (16 years ago, 18-Feb-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

Will the wheels be a drop-in replacement for BBB large wheels? This is grade-A quality, and the train set we've been waiting for since 4.5V. Of course, now we'll expect similar miracles of the new PF train-specific parts. :) -Stefan- (16 years ago, 18-Feb-09, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
