He's doing the electronics and BrickForge did a (...) (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.org.ca.obb, lugnet.general, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX) !

(...) Well, I'm not really modeling any particular period, so cowboy hats en masse won't be happening, but the slope idea is a good one to keep in mind. I'll be using regular, fleshie heads, not Woody, et al., and I'll be swapping out the torsos, (...) (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Does this fit on the RC/9V tracks, or does it require something different? I have see photos of it, and the three carriages do look like they have the wheel set for the RC/9v tracks. (14 years ago, 18-Jul-10, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hey Dave, thanks for that info; I was wondering about the exact height of the new, longer legs. With this exact information, I calculate that my figs will be a touch over 5'3" tall without wigs, and so I'll call them 5 1/2' tall: poifect:-) (...)

(...) Woody picks up about 1/2" over a standard minifig, but a good chunk of that is his massive noggin and hat. The leg pieces are three studs long when seated, much like the standard legs are two studs long, so you'll actually get about 5/16" (...) (14 years ago, 17-Jul-10, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) That's actually what I figured. Most of your comments lately have pointed to the maxifig scale trains so it was a fairly good bet. You could even fiddle around with extending the torsos to make them taller still. Not sure how it'd work but it (...) (14 years ago, 17-Jul-10, to lugnet.general, FTX)
